I think I agree with you. this is wikipedia
Bliss can be a state of profound satisfaction, happiness and joy, a constant state of mind, undisturbed by gain or loss.
With music I just experienced the profound satisfaction.

although it doesn't tell me why. Often the how is plenty enough . what a nice experience.

I do not appreciate particularly when music becomes too imitative, or too real.
Although I remember to have listened at the radio an example of "static music". At least that is how I thought of it. There was no tempo, no rhythm, just an almost continuous rasping sound from a stringed instrument, in the lower key. Not disharmonious, not just a noise, but not harmonious in any recognizable way (by me). The sound changed gradually to a different one a small number of times. It was Japanese and representing a dead tree in the forest. It touched me and had me completely, for the 5 minutes it lasted.
