JOURNALIST: You call the musical development of the past hundred years an unnatural
development, how can you explain that?
PETER HUEBNER: Unnatural, because it
disregards the natural laws of harmony of the microcosm of music
i.e. it infringes on the natural laws of development which nature applies
to the structural development of a tone and a sound.
And with this disregard of the natural laws of tone and sound design of
the microcosm of music, the new toner injures the natural function
of essential areas necessary for conveying music:
- On the one hand,
the function of our inner ear which orientates itself entirely on these
natural laws of tone and sound design
- an absolute
pre-condition for the deaf Beethoven for creating music from the middle
of his life onwards;
- on the other
hand, the function of our outer ear, whose origin is completely orientated
towards these natural laws of tone and sound design, and even structures
our hearing organ as modern science has recognisedaccording to
these laws of harmony,
- then the function
of our human voice which is also conceived to consider these harmonical
laws of design, and finally
- the function
of natural musical instruments which, in their tonal development, also follow
these natural harmonical laws of design.
JOURNALIST: What consequences did this
insight have for you?
PETER HUEBNER: For me it was clear that
for these reasons, the development of atonal compositional techniques were
abortive developments from the point of view of nature.
This knowledge was by no means easy for me; because all those who believed
to be at the top of a musical development as acknowledged avant-gardists,
paid tribute to these abortive developments.
During the serious musical operations of that time, a rejection of this
unnatural orientation of the new toners towards harmonical compositional
structures was considered the same as returning to the stone age of
music, and meant the same as the over of the outer professional
career as a composer if you aspired to have such a career.
JOURNALIST: And the entire modern music world was misled?
PETER HUEBNER: Well, after all, since Arnold Schönberg,
singers and musicians all over the world should perform contemporary
music with their voices and instruments which is structurally conceived
without consideration of natural laws of sound and tonal development, and
which therefore, during performance, faces the fiercest resistance of the
human voice, as well as the musical instruments, and which accordingly,
sounds so terrible to many peoples ears.
Following my registration at the music academy in Cologne, I myself, as
a modern avant-gardist was at first misled.
But then, it became clear to me that my negative, sharp musical
criticism of the outdated, corrupt structures had been supported
if not even decisively shaped by a kind of music that structurally
was not orientated towards the natural laws of harmony of the microcosm
of music, and which logically only aims towards destruction, well, even
trains humans in the mechnisms of destruction, by educating his thoughts
structurally to follow destruction.
Thus, at the time, my research into the microcosm of music led me clearly
and unambiguously to the realisation that atonal twelve-tone music, and
the linked serial music of all those who saw themselves supposedly as continuing
classical music a great error train the individual musician
and through him, the individual listener, tonally in the mechanisms of unnaturalness.
JOURNALIST: And how do you see the effect
of light modern music?
PETER HUEBNER: The whole of light music from soft music to hard
rock, does the same mainly with the help of fixed rhythmical structures.
What a devastating effect i.e. rock music has on natural processes of life,
is seen in the research results of American doctors, who have found out,
that rats that grow up with rock music, in comparison to their conspecifics,
which grow up in a sound environment, natural to rats, are so to speak psychologically
destroyed, and in the end, even show physiological deformities in the brain. |
