The article argues that music is not just a static object, but a dynamic process that involves interactions with sounds. It introduces a model of sense-making based on embodied and experiential cognition, emphasizing the role of the body and mind in understanding music. The research draws on theories by Dewey, James, and von Uexkull, as well as neurobiological evidence, to explore how we construct knowledge through musical experiences. The central focus is on how our biology and cognitive abilities shape our understanding of music, highlighting the interconnectedness of body, mind, and music in the sense-making process.
