Imagine Invisible Inhearable Invisible

Last night looking at the nice symphony orchestra and listening nice music...

You can close your eyes and still hear music. Nothing strange. Imagine you cannot hear. (Some people do not hear.) You'll see then movements of hands, heads, etc. of orchestra players only. To my mind these movements were even more strange without movements of the conductor.

Not strange enough? Imagine then that you cannot see instruments. There are two possibilities: to hear music or not. Suppose you hear. Perhaps you will find that movements of orchestra players are somehow meaningful under (or with) music.

Suppose you cannot hear music and cannot see instruments. You see only movements of players (and the conducter) without instruments. Will you find a difference between, say, Dvorak's Ninth Symphony and Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, well, except for duration? Can this difference be measured or expressed in any means?

Maybe you enjoy sports more that music. Imagine basketball or baseball (you can insert the name of your favorite play here) teams playing with a ball which is not visible to spectators only.

It should look as a kind of dance, but without music. Can you imagine music suitable for such a dance? Can other teams learn to dance (to play) under such a music, but with no real ball? Would it look alike to very modern ballet?


Lyrics

Last Night
Travelling Wilburies

Verse 1:
She was there at the bar, she heard my guitar
She was long and tall, she was the queen of them all
Last night, thinking about last night
Last night, thinking about last night

Verse 2:
She was dark and discreet, she was light on her feet
We went up to her room and she lowered the boom
Last night, thinking about last night
Last night, thinking about last night

Bridge:
Down below they danced and sang in the street
While up above the walls were steaming with heat
Last night, thinking about last night
Last night, thinking about last night

Verse 3:
I was feeling no pain, feeling good in my brain
I looked in her eyes, they were full of surprise
Last night, talking about last night
Last night, talking about last night

Bridge 2:
I asked her to marry me she smiled
and pulled out a knife
The party's just beginning she said,
it's your money or you life
Last night, talking about last night
Last night, talking about last night

Verse 4:
Now I'm back at the bar, she went a little too far
She done me wrong, all I got is this song
Last night, thinking about last night
Last night, thinking about last night
