Well, I'm currently having a go at writing a program generating Terry 
Riley's "in C".
I debug the program without listening to the actual output (a midi file) 
but look at dumps and analysis of this output file.
It's a bit like looking in the matrix ;=)

I am not able read a staff (that would be the  "sound heard internally 
within one's consciousness") but I can compare numbers and have an idea 
of the music beeing generated.
So is this music with the absence of sound?
