Fabien Maman, a renowned musician and acupuncturist, conducted experiments to explore how music affects human body cells. These experiments were carried out in a university laboratory in Paris, focusing on the impact of sound on the nucleus and electromagnetic field of human cells. Both healthy cells and tumour cells were photographed during the process.
Tumour cell, instrument: gong
In this experiment, photographs were taken every minute following the strike of a gong. The primary sound of the gong was accompanied by overtones, producing a range of simultaneous, diverse, and dissonant frequencies. Over time, the sound gradually destabilised the structure of the cancer cell, ultimately causing it to rupture.

Tumour cell, instrument: acoustic guitar (notes A and B)
In this experiment, Fabien played the notes A and B on an acoustic guitar. Slightly older tumour cells were used, which displayed greater sensitivity and responded more quickly to the sound. Younger cells, however, were more resistant to the “treatment.” The sound acted like a pressure valve, pushing energy from the centre to the cell’s periphery. By photograph 25, a hole in the cytoplasmic membrane became visible. By the end of the experiment (photograph 34), the older cell (at the top) had grown to twice the size of the younger cell and was on the verge of rupture. A few additional notes would likely have caused it to explode.
Younger cells require more time to be affected, while older cells, being closer to disintegration, react faster and need less time to reach the point of “explosion”.

Tumour cell, instrument: xylophone (Ionian scale)
This experiment utilised a xylophone played in the Ionian scale (C, D, E, F, G, A, B, along with C and D from the next octave). With nine different frequencies applied, it took only 14 minutes to induce the cell’s rupture. The gradual destabilisation of the cell’s structure was clearly observed as new sounds were introduced.
