How does one evaluate art without context and meaning of the piece? This is a question posed at “reduced listening”. We are limited by our language. One can evaluate how a piece of sound makes one feel , but is this feeling not greatly enhanced after context of the sound is unveiled? This strikes a contrast between knowing the “context” or “intended meaning” of a sound compared to knowing the “source” of a sound.
