«Feedback Audio Networks» (FAUN) aims to study how time-delayed feedback networks can be adapted and used to generate and process audio signals. Due to their complex dynamics, these networks generate not only a variety of different sounds and timbres but also rhythmic textures.
The project adresses the potentially challenging issues related to the transfer of these generative systems into musical practice.
The project «Feedback Audio Networks» (FAUN) aims to study how time-delayed feedback networks can be adapted and used to generate and process audio signals. Due to their complex dynamics, these networks generate not only a variety of different sounds and timbres but also rhythmic textures. It is assumed that these networks lend themselves as interesting and attractive tools for sound artists and composers.
The transformation of these networks into musical algorithms is conducted via a systematic evaluation of the dynamic characteristics of the networks and the sonic properties of the resulting output. In addition, the project aims to address the potentially challenging issues related to the transfer of these generative systems into musical practice. This includes the development of tools and strategies that assist musicians in exploring these systems and in acquiring an intuitive understanding of their underlying algorithmic principles.
