Question: Is your Medical Resonance Therapy Music – music, medicine, or a type of information? The term ‘music’ suggests music; the terms ‘medical’ and ‘therapy’ suggest medicine or medication; and the term ‘resonance’ suggests some kind of physical fact. How are these things connected?

Peter Huebner: We all know such things from other fields which cannot be clearly classified. Take, for example, electrical current. One person might say current flows, whilst another might speak of a changing magnetic energy field. Both are correct. Judgement is in the eye of the beholder, or arises out of the method of examination: one examines the electricity, the other examines the magnetism.

But there is a still more general example in the natural sciences. In physics the question arose at one point: is matter something material or does it consist merely of vibrations? Two theories were finally developed here, the corpuscular theory and the wave theory. But neither could prove to the other that only his own point of view is correct.

It is much the same with Medical Resonance Therapy Music. From the musicological point of view, it is a representation of the structural reality of the microcosm of music, the aim of which is to convey information about its integral laws of harmony – nothing more, nothing less.

As I make use of sounds in this presentation of the harmonic world – like a writer makes use of the printed word on paper for his information – one initially thinks that it is music.
And since in European musical history and seen from a musicological point of view, it is also a logical and systematic developmental process of ever more precise insight into the laws of harmony of the microcosm of music, as a European one is the more inclined to think of Medical Resonance Therapy Music as ‘music’. But this is merely a question of viewpoint.

One person might say it is music and, from the point of view of our European artistic musical tradition, one would have to agree with him.

Another person, on the other hand, might say we are considering something which is pure information about the laws of harmony within the microcosm of music, and which merely appears to be presented in a musical form. And he would be right too, for he is viewing it from another – the musicological – standpoint. I assume this is now clear.

The aspects of ‘medicine’ and ‘therapy’ now remain, and these are best explained by the learned doctor, mathematician and musicologist, Pythagoras in his statement that the laws of harmony of the microcosm of music and of biological life are identical – a matter of fact which modern chronomedicine has been able to prove.

Question: May I repeat the question, just to get it clear in detail? To what extent can Medical Resonance Therapy Music be described as information?

Peter Huebner: The information aspect comes from the musicological viewpoint. Medical Resonance Therapy Music only represents the structural realities of the microcosm of music in so far as it uses these structures as information carriers for the transmission of information about the laws of harmony of the microcosm of music.
It is simply a case of transmitting to the organism of the listener via the ear and the brain, information about the lawsof harmony of the microcosm of music and, in doing so – according to the results of research carried out in the field of chronomedicine – conveying the laws of harmony of the natural biological function.

Just as the scientist giving a lecture uses the spoken word to transmit information about his area of research, so we use the elements of the sound purely as an information carrier or transmitter for the transference of information about the laws of harmony of the microcosm of music. The sound itself does not play a part in the medicinal effect of Medical Resonance Therapy Music – this comes pure and simply from the effect which the harmonic information transmitted has on the appropriate parameters of the organism.

And just as, by way of comparison, the one scientist might be a Chinese man and convey contemporary mathematical knowledge in Chinese and the other be from England and convey the same knowledge in his mother tongue even though the English language sounds completely different from Chinese, so can completely different sounding harmonically structured Medical Resonance Therapy Music convey the same harmonic information – as if in different sounding languages.

The fact that this works is proven by the results of previous medical studies, and this also proves that the medical effect is dependent only on the harmonic information inherent in the sound, not on the sound itself – even though the sound is, in its structure, naturally governed by those laws which are applicable for the correct representation of this harmonic information.

As in linguistics, where one does not confuse the sound of the language with its intrinsic meaning, in Medical Resonance Therapy Music – as far as the medical effect is concerned – one must also not confuse presentation of sound and/or the sound structure with the information about the laws of harmony.

In this respect then, not only from a musicological but also from a medical point of view, Medical Resonance Therapy Music can be seen purely as a carrier for information on the laws of harmony of the microcosm of music – that is to say, it is purely information about the laws of harmony of the natural biological function. Is this clear now?
