The time-based occurrences are composed of the same sonic material. The different components of the ideal object, assigned to various instrumental parameters, are systematically recombined to create new sonic occurrences of the underlying structure. Listening in this context seems to be less about perceiving a narrative composed of auditory events and more about experiencing concrete sounds as indicating the presence of their abstract cause.
The term “instantiation” is a technical term in metaphysics used to describe the relationship between a so-called "universal" property and its actual, perceptible occurrences.
