The issue is: why? You've got a guess about how the brain interprets music, which seems very similar to Kil's guess, but he had the sense to use the word "somehow."
Is that guess correct? That is "the issue." |

Well, we know our minds do fill ins when there are blind spots in our field of vision if the blind spots are small enough. It may be possible that our brains do the same thing with sound. Only with sound, the blind spot doesn't actually exist because we are at the very least, passing though the note.
I'm pretty sure that slide and most note bending or blueing works because we really are taking off and landing on a note that resolves what we're doing. It doesn't matter if we are out for a moment (or more as if it isn't for too long) as long as we resolve what were doing on some note that makes musical sense. And the resolve needs to be on the note. It can even then move a seventh away from the expected note (which would be another kind of blueing) as long it's a real seventh and not a little sharp or flat. Then it may be unexpected but it still sounds right.
What happens if it's real drawn out is you get an effect. Like the orchestra moving up to a resolve in A Day in a Life by the Beatles. It does sound wrong, but we have the expectation that it will resolve, which it does, so it works. |
Uncertainty may make you uncomfortable. Certainty makes you ridiculous.
