Question: But how does a medicinal effect come about?

Peter Huebner: If the information about the natural laws of harmony of the microcosm of music, itself enshrouded in music, finds resonance in the human organism with the corresponding information about the natural laws of harmony of biological life, an exchange of information and, where appropriate, a correction of information will take place, and this correction of information on the part of the organism means the recreation of the natural harmonic order of the biological system. And this means: ‘The healing process begins.’

Where the harmony in an organism is disrupted, the resonance between the information on order relevant to the microcosm of music and the current situation of the biological order produces a natural healing process.

This also accounts for the question I am often asked as to whether I have to be a medical practitioner or at least have medical knowledge in order to create Medical Resonance Therapy Music.

Cognition of the natural harmonic order in the microcosm of music requires musicological insight into this scientific field of creation – completely detached from any other consideration, medical included.

And the presentation of the natural harmonic order in the microcosm of music requires the artistic craft of polyphonic classical composition, as possessed by our great classical sound creators.

According to Pythagoras and to the corresponding results of studies carried out in the field of modern chronomedicine, the medical success is ultimately down to the fact that the laws of harmony of the microcosm of music and of biological life are by nature identical.

A mathematician does not have to be a merchant, just because he also calculates with figures, and he does not have to be a physicist either, just because he works with numbers and formulas.

Mathematical formulas can be applied in every conceivable scientific discipline in every conceivable circumstance, without it being necessary that the person who devised the formula ever concerned himself with any one of those areas.

This is due to the fact that our brain is just one part of nature, and the naturally ordered functioning of our brain also naturally brings forth harmonic patterns of order which – however abstract they may be – can be applied in concrete individual cases to the most diverse concrete realities of nature.

I would like to take this still further. Just as it is sensible for the mathematician not to be a physicist, chemist or biologist because the tying up of his thoughts with the ill-defined structures of these fields would reduce the universality of his abstract observations and cognition, it seems to me that it would be more of a hindrance if, to achieve medical success in my work, I wanted to acquire some medical knowledge.

In my opinion, just concerning myself with one particular illness could wreck the general cognition about the phenomenon of health.

Harmonically structured music – including Medical Resonance Therapy Music – does not consider that aspect of the illness at all – this would anyway precipitate itself in diverse ways as disharmony, but aims pure and simply at displaying the principles of well-being and, therefore, at displaying the natural patterns of order in the microcosm of music and information about the innate natural laws of harmony which are integral to these patterns of order. Is that now clear?

Answer: Yes, so far.

Peter Huebner: Conventional music cannot be defined in a natural-scientific sense. Here we are talking about art and the freedom of art and artistic interpretation, and this extends from the sentiment of the pop song to the destructive fury of hard rock music.

To approach medical music in such a conventional musical manner would remove the scientific objectivity – this accounts for the failure of any attempt made to utilise any kind of artistic performance in music therapy – at least in so far as it can be neither defined nor evaluated scientifically.

The scientifically objective definable and provable medical benefit can only be established through a musicological approach – comparable to that which we know from pharmaceutics: precise figures, precise formulas, clear and reproducible facts, just as Pythagoras had also demanded and, in doing so, established the foundations of our scientific age.

And then here too, when knowledge of the material – of the microcosm of music – is sufficient, the desired scientific medical success is achieved, success which can be objectively measured and reproduced independently of place and time.

The transmission of information can indeed be a therapy, every doctor knows this and every psychologist and psychiatrist earns his living on the fact. And the harmonic information which the listener receives via Medical Resonance Therapy Music produces a scientifically provable healing effect.
As such, it is a medically effective therapy – based on the resonance of harmonic information. And the harmonic information uses the sound as an information carrier.

In previous medical studies, experts have primarily concerned themselves with measurable medical parameters. On the basis of the apparent results of the research, they are now beginning to look more closely at the principles – how incoming harmonic information individually effects the body’s own internal harmonic information and how the body carries out any necessary corrections. But these studies are also largely governed by the general development of research into the brain.

For all of the reasons mentioned, it seems to me to be expedient to introduce Medical Resonance Therapy Music to the simple listener as ‘medically effective music’ and to the expert as ‘a medically effective harmonic information carrier’.
