Consider music experienced in the course of the day.
Multiple sources. Multiple situations. Alone, in domestic, work-related, and social settings. Through television and radio, in advertising, by personal selection on digital devices. For multiple reasons. In complete form and in fragments. By choice or not. Given full attention, barely noticed, interrupted, or ignored.
No one considers it unusual; it is unprecedented in human history.
Upon reflection, literally at the end of the day, it may be observed to have produced effects at the time, or none at all. The individual would be the one to determine this, and to recall what those effects, if any, were, and whether or not they were desirable.
To propose and design forms of a musical nature intended to make atmospheres and activities cohesive is to create a paradigm of auditory art that establishes an aesthetic relationship between sounds, ideas, emotions, environments and actions in ways contrary to the effects of transitory and fragmentary musical events.
