Key words: Tactile music - Anxiolytic music - Psychophysiological effects.Abstract:QUANTITYVibroAcoustic Therapy is - in contrast to all other musical communication,which is purely auditive - transferring a blend of low frequency sinusoidalwaves and music directly to the human body. The tactile stimuli can be bothfelt and heard,- hence the name of the therapy and the equipment used.VibroAcoustic Therapy gives music a physical dimension. The sinusoidalsound massage waves are blended with music in as perfect harmony aspossible. One has added a new dimension to the aesthetic value of music.QUALITYAnxiolytic music is defined as music which gives the listener reduction of anxiety and tensions. Music therapists have found which parameters that arecontributing to the optimal anxiolytic effect.VibroAcoustic Therapy tapes use the fractal proportions of the Pythagoreanscale as parameters for therapy.THERAPYUsing the empirial knowledge from 30.000 hours of VibroAcoustic Therapyaround the world and the mathematics of natural harmony, it is possible tocompose music for specific purposes, giving music pharmacology a new,physical dimension.
