Summary/Abstract: The evolution of science and technology during the contemporary period is an unprecedentedphenomenon in the history of mankind, generating at the level of the human psyche the impression of aneed for a minute organization of time, in the desire to do as many activities as possible. Thisagglomeration of everyday life is justified by various needs such as improving the standard of living orthe continuous development of conquests in these areas, neglecting almost entirely the consequences onthe psyche and the sensitive dimension of the human being. The fact that they have made tremendousprogress does not ensure, as we would have expected the welfare of society, but on the contrary, itcontributes to the robotization and annihilation of human sensibilities. In this context, the art of music andall other arts suffer from many malformations, constantly departing from their sacred origins, adaptingthemselves by sacrificing authentic values to an artificial environment lacking in consistency, empathyand emotion. This paper proposes going back to origins and highlight the initial artistic goal in antithesiswith the contemporary social and artistic organism.
