The infinity Torus figure-of-8 magickal secret of live music in, erm, oh fuck ...
Words cannot describe everything.So it's like this, performing music. Some things need to be experienced. Performing in front of an audience of human beings, is like this. Everyone should try it, at least once.
There is an energy matrix, a circuit of sorts. For example, in a traditional "rock" band, the drums and bass create the back-end, it feeds round though whatever instruments you have going on, guitars, etc., and then passes through the the person at the front; usually the singer, the pivot, the focus. Imagine a figure of eight-ish, sideways, you in the middle of it.
Being that person is an amazing feeling. Try it. A solo performance is a different dynamic. Try that, too. Whichever you like best, you could do that again easy.
Especially if the energy continues on out without interruption1, enveloping the crowd and feeding back. Better yet if they love what you do; which amplifies the returning energy, and so on.
There is no direction. No start and end points, it just IS, and is more and more as you work it into a lather. It's one way to add energy to the system, which is why we humans love it so much. But never forget, moving energy into this systems robs it from another. Fuck it, like we care!
This explains why artists who should have decades ago hung up their SM58's are still out there on buses. It's highly addictive stuff, even for the audiences. If you have never watched live music, you need to fix that ASAP!
If you are a scientist; you need to develop an alter-ego of some kind, away from the science. Get him busking or joining biker gangs or free diving; whatever it takes. I'm just recommending singer-in-a-band as a great place to engage the other dimensions of the brain and thereby, get the science done.
The journey back is where your breakthrough is.

1. There's always one. Some dour fucker who should have stayed at home. No matter; we have a technique2 for that: Imagine him (it will be a him, no doubt) as a globule in a sea of rushing liquid, dissolving as the current around him moves toward the power.
In seconds he is dissolved and, dare I say it; improved (at least for a spell) and you can continue; ever-so-slightly diminished, but five minutes later you can be back on track. Or else fixate on that half-wit and loose the whole show.
Both are valid and valuable approaches, depending on what you need at this time.
