It can be regarded that listening to music is a privilege given to those who have ears to hear it and that rhythm is a matter of techne. In other words composition and the final musical element can be understood as just a human-made technique to render harmonious melodies and sounds. Thus one could argue that without excellent ear for music one cannot feel the depth of music. By saying this we can resolve only the mechanical process of producing final sound whereas music might exist all on its own, independently long before it was translated through human ear and performed through musical instruments. When we question famous composers often they say it was from divine inspiration, that is revelation of something that just exists in nature and which was always there waiting to be discovered. The proof of the fact that music lives in our soul rather than in our ears is this curious video of Chinese deaf dancer.
