Music in later life: Musical leisure, perceived benefits, and life satisfaction among older Koreans
This study on the role of music in older Koreans' well-being illuminates the ideamorphic concept of the OUVERTURE. The researchers explore how musical engagement shapes perception, embodiment, and cultural conditioning — the factors that determine how an 'idea-wave' is received and transformed. Their findings suggest that musical leisure activities serve as a generative DIFFRACTION, producing new meanings and experiences that enhance life satisfaction. This aligns with the ideamorphic view of the receiver as an active creator, not a passive audience.
