Music does not need eyes. They are even sometimes an obstacle. We just need to see a movement to comprehend the sound it will make and this sound does not surprise us anymore. When blindfolded, every sound is a surprise. We are then attentive, watchful. Space also does seem different to us. We discover the distance anew. Close sounds seem to us even closer. The difference between what is far to what is close seems to us unfathomable.
