"The production of it (music) is certainly not mystical or un-scientific, though science is not the primary medium I use to enjoy it."

True, the production of sound is not mystical or un-scientific but the production of music _is_ mystical and un-scientific.

The essence of science is repeatability. If music were a repeatable experiment we could all play like Segovia by following the instructions. We all know there are people who can reproduce great performances note for note, but they don't sound the same.
