As far as the instrumental writing is concerned, perhaps the composers are intending for the performers/conductor to listen and to tune in to what is going on. Something like what Ravel was up to with all those parallel intervals in Bolero which are written in 12-tet or the way a good conductor tunes parallel intervals in Le Sacre (notated in 12-tet, of course). The analogies here to Western rhythmic notation and performance practice are obvious.
