For some, perhaps most, imagination will furnish sound imagery in association with visual stimuli, as it does with words.
And the converse is true also. Auditory imagery will stimulate perceptual impressions in context with the surrounding environment and in the mind as well.
While musical performance and presentation combine sound and imagery to striking results for an audience, it should not be forgotten that sound alone connects intimately with the listener, whether in a personal or social setting. Composers who respect listeners' taste, intelligence, and emotional discernment may communicate through sound in ways that are understated in approach, to equally far-reaching effects.
Imaginative listening is the foundation of unique and imaginative sound works, whether these are of a fundamentally generic musical nature or they owe their origins to more asymmetrical perspectives.
