Q: i think there's two elements of enjoyment of music: there's a basic response to individual sounds (be it instruments, snippets of voice, or any sort of sound in the song) and some sort of long-term enjoyment based on structure, tonal shifts, tension and anticipation. as someone who makes music you are much more qualified to speculate on this than i am. how do you think enjoying music works?
A: it's really just like the Turing test. 2 souls take the test. Each one will be thrilled if they are able to present the other with a passing grade. it's not entirely even clear who's testing whom at this point
