T, it you feel that Sound is subjective then explain it to the thousands fools who compose, conductor and perform music, trying to communicate thier subjective ideas unrig perfectly objective universal language. When you stop to recognize in musicality Form and pay more attention to the Content then you will see that the Content’s depicture has no subjectivism. The subjectivism exists only in the  Form’s depicture…


You mistake me (or perhaps not). Not only is sound subjective (and music), but all our our experience of (the postulated but unproven and possibly unprovable) absolute reality is.

You experience nothing without your senses and all the learned and born in hardwiding of your mind/soul to interpret. It is trivial to proove that the actual thing percieved by ones senses differs between people, equally, the interpretative hardwiring differs. Add on top radically different worldviews (objectivists, subjectivists, idealists, realists and so on) which again shape our interpretation (both concious and unconcious) of what senses tell us and you realise that no two people listening to the same musician, in the same hall, hearing the same piece played either hear the same nor react the same.

There are often coarse similarities in experience (and we have the charming trait to call those whose experience diverges most strongly from the majority "crazy"), but often that similiarity is partially learned and partially peer pressure....
