No doubt that I get a greater sense of nuance, detail and the soundscape when the eyes have nothing much to do. I think we are so visual that that sense can be pretty dominant, occupying a lot of the mind's attention. My wife and I, our first several years as full time potters, we inadvertently segued into the night shift. Later we realized that it was because it was less distracting visually, auditory, and energetically, making it easier to focus on the work and get absorbed by it. I am not positive, but as far as I can tell, my power is treated enough that it isolates the line racket. So I think it is sensory allocation so to speak, which could easily be enhanced by the things you point to. After all, who do you know who thinks they are a great multitasker, and who does each of many things as well as they would have had they given total attention to it.
I love to hear the music in a dark, quiet room.
