Not only that, but music allows you to modify the environment in real-time,
according to your mood. I think it is the real-time dynamics of the
environment which make it different from other media types. The chaotic
real-time dynamics matches the behavior of the brain more closely because it
is responsive. As you said, "instant feedback".
