I think I follow your vector.  I'll try to add.... Nope, can't figure it.

We could build a representation of the Mona Lisa using Lego bricks.  To some
it would be a dreadful copy that completely fails to capture the essence of
the original.  To others it would be it an original work of art in its own
right.

Some might like pitchbending effects applied to "smart people talks" in the
name of music.  I personally feel that's an original work of art that I do
not appreciate.

I do think we can write music about science.  It will likely take a hybrid
creativity to be recognized by both musicians and scientists.
