A person who intentionally adopts a peripheral social position to achieve a state of heightened "self-presence" through the medium of music.
A practitioner of sonic-detachment, where one experiences the external world as a visual-auditory composition rather than a participatory event.
One who is "unseen but noticed"—holding a social presence that influences the "vibe" of a space without directing its action.
