I feel you are saying something interesting, but I cant fully understand it
Can you rephrase it in a simple way?

Perhaps that’s at least half the point. A taste of American post-modern “philosophy”
I see what you mean, all right.
Interesting.
I can’t find any source for this, nor if it was introduced before or after the classical music era, but it’s something worth digging deeper.

I reckon that it is undoubtedly true that certain frequencies of sound can indeed affect biological responses, although the problem lies in separating fact from fiction, and finding actual accurate information involves wading through too much BS.
Still, anyone with synths can experiment for themselves, it would be interesting to note any responses, but how to account for bias and numerous other factors, such as environment, mood, physical and mental variability, time of day etc etc would likely render no such universal but rather an individual response.

Alain Daniélou wrote about this. His writing shows its age and he really was quite upset and disgusted with the imperialist tendencies that he perceived in western music theory/academia — so it‘s not an easy recommendation, but if you want to dive deeper, his books are a good - albeit somewhat polemic - starting point.
