...Dissonance was, perversely, embraced by the corruption of modernity 
as an ideal in its own right - even when there was no independence of 
voices, but block chords. So, the individual is symbolically denied 
independence and agency - but in-effect forced to participate in 
dissonance.
The future? - well perhaps it can musically
 be gestured-at by independence of voices - counterpoint - simultaneous 
with harmony; each person's agency symbolically combining with each 
other's in an overall harmony...
