I believe Creativity and Listening can go hand in hand and that Listening can be a form of Creativity. How does one ponder a thought, idea, concept, without first listening to the world around them in order to respond?
Music making is listening, reacting to what is being heard, played, interpreted, felt, etc. If one is speaking of a pure music making performance; it could require a different form of listening as opposed to one who sits and listens to music being performed before them and not the one making the performance occur. However, both sides of the listener and performer actively participate in this Creating process. Each individual partakes in this sort of movement that travels inside the ear, mind, emotions, heart etc.
I think once exposed to any type of musical art form, the listener is succumbed to pick out and grab what they want to hear, bringing forth selective processes that occur in the brain, experiencing both the past memory and present occurrence all at once. That makes Listening an active participant process that moves forth into the Creating processes of those moments that happen all around us on a daily basis via performance or not.
