Summary

Contemporary music is in danger of death. Not because it does not have its specific weight in the general market of consumer products -this is necessarily so-, but because it is unknown by the public, which moves with a certain knowledge in other disciplines. The reasons of this isolation are not the ones that we generally listen to, but others which are much more strategic. If we want to come out of such a situation, then ethical, aesthetic and strategic innovations will be necessary. Among the latter, since continuing to look for a place for contemporary music around classical music does not lead to anything, it is necessary to locate that place in the dissemination nodules of the rest of the arts.
