Now THIS is really interesting.

I guess I just disagree - It IS possible to "reveal a vision" or an "interior concept" through the process of appropriation. I do it all the time.

I suppose it depends on the level of detail that you want to
"pre-conceive", and your whole take on the process of composition and art-making.

I "visualize" (auralize?) appropriation music all the time, think it up in my head, then go looking for sources that fulfill the vision. In a way I
don't see any difference between that and imagining a melody and then
sitting down at the piano to "realize" it.
granted, there is another mode of appropriation where you just sit down
with some source material and start mixing and "see what happens". But you don't have to do it that way.

what exactly do you mean by "conceptualizing the audience"? You mean like demographics in advertising? There still has to be some "content", doesn't there?

hmmm.
