This last bit is part of the "conclusion" in Jacques Attali´s "The Politics of
Noise", what he calls composition..."(The) musician plays primarily for himself,
outside of any operationality, spectacle or accumulation of value; when music,
extricating itself from the codes of Sacrifice, Representation and Repetition,
emerges as an activity that is an
end in itself".
