All I'm implying is that the non-bitumans have the capacity to be effected--even if a culture/species doesn't capitalize on cultural or artistic pursuits to completely lack a mind capable of appreciating them would demonstrate certain intellectual failings. Some races (like your own) might be more resistant due to plenty of factors (shorter lifespans, goal-centric/highly actualized populace, etc.) But I really have to reaffirm this is the continued effort of vast, non-human intelligences working in tandem to produce a single composition of stimuli that spans nearly a hundred systems and has nothing that it could possibly be accurately compared to. Like how eldritch is a go word for truly inconceivable horror 'bitumesque' would be its equal and opposite expression. There works are inconceivably beautiful, able to strike a chord with beings of sufficient intelligence.
