I derived that quote from Brian Eno's definition of ambient music : ambient
music is 
what sonically happens in psychofictional space. I really, really like that
one....I fully 
understand it....Even before I had knowledge of that definition, I had a
feeling that all that 
spaced, electroacoustic ambient music had something to do with a fictional
space where it
all happens. Close to this we encounter the phenomena of Gestalt
structures....people tend
to experience electroacoustic music/textures more or less grouped together
in wonderful
psychological structures in wich the sum of the sonic subelements function
as one major
element.
