This
elemental internal life of a tone or sound can be most meaningfully described
as the microcosm of music.
From the first sound impulse, a sound grows in time and space into a complex
tonal pattern, like a tree from a seed and at some point in time it decays
like every other thing in creation.
Today, these internally living structural developments of tones and sounds can
be rendered visible and audible using special scientific devices.
Thus today it is scientifically and technologically possible to filter out individual
internal tonal developments from a tone or sound and, as such, to examine them.
And if we spatially and temporally lengthen these acoustic expressions, which
may themselves last only fractions of a second, then we recognise in each one
of them an infinite number of connected movements each of them a completely
individual variable tone with its own variable pitch and volume, its own variable
rhythm, its own point and time of origin and a completely unique pattern of
development nothing short of a personal journey through life.
Nevertheless, there are fixed rules in their evolution, like those we also know
in the physical, chemical, biological or astronomical world as natural
laws.
Thus in the complexly constructed internal tonal world of just a single individual
tone or sound, we find multifarious, natural social relationships
between very many fine tones, whereby, time-and-again, new social
orders gain and then lose the upper-hand: the development of ever newer, more
natural, more individual, more integrated social and ecological patterns of
order in chaos.
With music we best describe first this internal life of tones or
sounds, which is an integral part of them and makes their internal developments
possible similar to the way in which our internal life determines for
each one of us the way through life and, over and above this, the way of our
social relationships and ultimately, also the course of the entire ecological
development.
Even in one single sound alone singled out from the twittering of birds
it is possible to discover a gigantic concert of birds, and in a single
sound from the human voice one can hear if one listens carefully
massive choirs, full of sounds and individual songs.
However, the natural abilities of our musical ear have been deafened
and disabled by the many ecological crises especially in music too. Therefore
it must be our commitment to open up this microcosm of music little-by-little
and, as listeners, to penetrate this never-ending, hidden world where the elemental
nature of the music will be revealed to us. Then we will recognise the eternal
laws of harmony of our life.1

Natures Laws of Harmony in the Microcosm of Music
