"there are musics that hunt for an exit"

.



"As Pierre Boulez once remarked of liberal society, “The economy is there to remind us, in case we get lost in this bland utopia: there are musics which bring in money and exist for commercial profit; there are musics that cost something, whose very concept has nothing to do with profit. No liberalism will erase this distinction.” He might have added: in the bland “utopia” of value pluralism, where one thing is as good as the next, there are musics that hunt for an exit."

– S.D. Chrostowska, Utopia in the Age of Survival: Between Myth and History



[I'm especially interested in that last phrase: "there are musics that hunt for an exit."]
