French to English Art/Literary Music

"Aux confins de la joute spectaculaire organisée, la musique contemporaine favorise des conduites projectives et aiguise de nouvelles stratégies d'écoute"

There is then a reference to the book "The Time of Music, New Meanings, New Temporalities, New Listening Strategies" by Jonathan Kramer, so it may well be a reference to something in there (as "nouvelles stratégies d'écoute" clearly is), but I don't have the book to check.

I think the idea here is that contemporary music encourages artists to project their work, i.e., for more people to come into contact with it. Is that how other people see it?
