The method for commanding the production of an acoustic waveform based on a physiological control signal, comprises:- one provides sampled sound data comprising S sound samples stored on a data carrier,- repeatedly, for n successive respective time intervals [tn tn+1[ between an initial time ta and a final time tb:. one provides a physiological control signal phi(t) as a function of time, during the current time interval [tn tn+1[,. a rate determination module (13) of a processor determines a rate rn of samples to be played during that time interval based on a value phi (tn) of the physiological control signal at time tn,. a command module (15) of the processor commands the play of a part of the acoustic waveform from the sampled sound data as a function of the determined rate rn of samples.
