What you describe is communication through the language of music and the language of music alone.
As a former practitioner, simply making the transition from being communicated to to being the communicator was a serious roadblock for me. As such, the joy of being allowed to sit in on these genius musical conversations was as exhausting as trying to keep up with them.
They don't count. They speak. Somehow.
