To hear in a
unique, authentic, original, revelatory, transcendent, creative and/or enlightened manner; especially if one is also able to transmit this way of hearing to others by playing
music, singing or elevating the consciousness of the listener by producing sounds. What a visionary, is to sight and images, an audiary, is to sounds and
music.
Some examples of celebrites who have heard
music and played in this manner are John Coltrane, Albert Ayler, Pharoah Sanders,(aka- The Father, Son and the Holy Spirit), Thelonious Monk, (aka- the High Priest), Lester Young, Charlie Parker, Eric Dolphy, and Charles Ives.
Although not strictly
music as entertainment, Ayahuasca shamen of South
America have been reported to elevate the consciousness of the listener, and transporting her/him to higher dimensions by singing in an audiary manner.
