Interface Cultures This thesis deals with the topic of feedback inside music and the sonicarts as means of sound production, and as a concept working with sound.Feedback is the process of routing the output of a system back intoitself, as a phenomenon, it can be found inside ecosystems, socialsystems, mechanics, electronic circuits, acoustics, the nervous systemand many more. The thesis traces a line from the science of cyberneticsthat first dealt with the notion of feedback in a scientific context, toits convergence with art in the 1960s, and to past and contemporarypractices inside music using feedback for the production of sound.Furthermore, the notion of feedback will be applied as a model helpingto understand self-emergence inside free improvised music. A scientificdescription of feedback and the related phenomena of chaos,non-linearity, and self-organization is given to understand the uniqueand fascinating behavior of feedback systems.
