a tree falling in a forest unobserved makes a sound. the forest may not recognise this as a sound, because a forest is many life forms interacting, not organised by some central principle or consciousness. they just do what they do. in the same way, playing beethoven’s ninth to a bowl of yeast will not elicit a response. the insensate remain unobservant, much like the universe itself.
