Arguably we tend to attempt to hear atonal music in a key (or temporal sequence of keys) despite it's attempt to avoid that.
I suspect something similar about bitonality. We hear one of the keys and then try and interpret the other notes in relation to that.

With the same idea also applying to an understanding (or feeling) of rhythm?
