The listener and the spectator are often the same person but confusingly (to some) not always so, hence ambiguity (a human condition). This ephemeral situation is quite obvious -- flux.
Ego enters the fray and will always pull this way and that...

could someone transcript Glass' words, to help non-english people understand what he says?

what a mind
I found Glass's words concerning how the spectator finds his own experience within the flow of images to be analogous to how a listener can hear his music. Within all the repetitions and pulses there are moments of ambiguity which the mind pulls this way or that. The notes may repeat, but the mind is finding its own novelty in the way it moves its attention.
