This work intends an analysis of the transformations in the contemporary idea of music, as well as of the confluence in some speeches and disciplines that attempt to specify these transformations' esthetic, sociological, and therapeutic reach, given that they nourish the philosophical debate. At length, with the aid of German philosopher Peter Sloterdijk, we'll outline a reading of the world as a polyphonic sound system and an analogy between human life and music.

El presente escrito no constituye una investigación filosófica propiamente dicha. Antes que nada, es una crónica que surge a partir de una experiencia de trabajo comunitario con una comunidad concreta. Sin embargo, la crónica entra en directa relación con la filosofía y más que todo, con el quehacer filosófico dentro del ámbito universitario, en la medida en que pone en cuestión qué tanto atiende la academia a la realidad que se vive por fuera de ella. En relación con ello, esta crónica responde a un intento por pensar las condiciones de posibilidad de conectar y hacer entrar en relación “el frío
concepto filosófico” y “la candente realidad colombiana”.

The present work doesn’t respond to a strict philosophical investigation. It is a chronicle which arises from a working experience with a specific community. Nevertheless, this chronicle is related to philosophy, and most of all, to the philosophical work within the academy, since it asks how the academy does attend to reality or the “real world” that
takes place outside of it. Therefore, this work thinks about the ways to connect and relate the “cold philosophical concept” and “the burning Colombian reality”.
