The con­ven­tional use of mu­si­cal in­stru­ments, and the prac­tice of per­form­ance and mu­sic re­pro­duc­tion so far, did not even permit such a pro­found ex­peri­ence to be imag­ined be­cause, among other rea­sons, the per­fec­tioned in­stru­men­talists, while in­ves­ti­gat­ing, plan­ning and con­structing, ran aground in the field of pe­ri­odic waves.

A pe­ri­odic wave com­pletely fixates the spec­trum of over­tones. And be­cause of this com­plete fixa­tion, along with the over-em­pha­sis on the ba­sic tone, we lis­ten­ers do not get an im­pres­sion of the ex­is­tence of an in­fi­nite space-time di­men­sion within the tone.

The con­ven­tion­ally pro­duced in­stru­ment sound re­minds us of a tree that no longer re­ceives nour­ish­ment, and there­fore dries up.
