What is music saying to music?

There is a sort of communication between several states of music. Music is always linking itself, establishing bonds between past, present and future of music.
But wait, because when I say music I'm not exactly using a shared concept.
My idea is that music is not only what's happening around there, but it is also the relationship between the listener and the "that". "That" can be lots of things: a performer, an album, a random situation with some kind of musical character, etc. It's always better to avoid closing this complex term. Music is a word that must be opened in order to be studied. Opening words means linking them a lot with new terms and ideas.
This amplification of music is what gives birth to interesting ideas such as the spectral communication -Schifres & Martinez- that is being held between musical actors during our musical life. I agree with the idea that music hosts a communication in time. Time is a strange key in music and it should be studied properly.
