By losing oneself in the repetition, in the hypnotic assault of a single note, a single repeated phrase, allows your ear to open wider, and listen deeper, and hear aspects of sound your brain has trained itself to ignore as noise. Those sounds, harmonically related to each other (mathematically, even) interact and play. It's a simple matter of resetting what your brain has locked in as it's "noise gate".
The best part is that while you are controlling the foundational note/part, those "phantom notes" dance in harmonically sound but unguided ways... that you aren't controlling, per se. It's essentially giving your ears a window into a spectrum where music exists that nobody's actually playing. And if hearing pure, natural music sounds appealing to your brain, trust me... it's worth trying.
