Exteriority can only disappear in composition, in which the musician plays primarily for himself, outside any operationality, spectacle or accumulation of value; when music, extricating itself from the codes of sacrifice, representation and repetition, emerges as an activity that is an end in itself, that creates its own code at these same time as the work.

as well as having meanings, music can be thought of as producing affects, which cannot be explained in terms of meaning.

What is it that makes house, techno and their variants so specific and unique? Perhaps the most obvious answer is that these forms stand out in the history of recorded 'popular' music in that they eschew verbal meaning. Most house and techno tracks have no lyrics. Vocal samples are used as pieces of sound rather than as meaningful phrases. The fact that dance music is a new form of popular instrumental music is what makes it so striking: it is a music which is not based on songs.
