It's kind of an obvious thing, but also something that's really easy to forget when making things.

This is really interesting. I think that the experience will be different for each person experiencing are, and also different depending on what you have heard other people express about that piece of art. Personally I prefer to have an "unbiased" experience first. After that it is more valuable to listen to what other persons have experienced. This relates to the two hour album challenge and the liner notes. It is fun to read these during the listening party, but it definitely affects the listening experience. Sometimes this is good, sometimes not :-). I have had several discussions with my daugther about a similar topic - if it is possible to separate the art from the artist. Again, I think this differs between people. I tend to try to avoid knowing to much about an artist, or the purpose of the piece of art, again to get that fresh unbiased experience. One example for me is "Dark Side Of The Moon". I had no idea what the songs meant but appreciated really the music. I have later understood that the text are rather political, and I think that I would have experienced the album differently (not necessarily bad) if I had know that during the first time I heard it. Anyway, this is getting too long, but it is a very interesting topic!
