What is audiation?

To audiate is to think music with understanding, in much the same way we think when we use language. It’s a mental process. It’s spontaneous. It can occur whether or not the sounds are physically present (for we can hear music in our mind’s ear, after all). It can occur both within time (in tandem with music making) or outside of time (in anticipation or reflection of what is coming or has come before).
