ABARCA: What is the purpose of this music? Is it an encryption code of some kind?
EMH: There is a mathematical component to music, but primarily it's a form of artistic expression.
TINCOO: Artistic expression?
EMH: Using sounds and images to convey ideas and emotions.
ABARCA: Why would anyone do that?
EMH: Well, to communicate their feelings.
ABARCA: Can't they do that through speech?
EMH: Yes, but music is much more expressive and entertaining.
TINCOO: You mean to say that this music is recreational?
EMH: It does have other applications. As a matter of fact, I've recently been doing some research into its therapeutic properties but, yes, primarily we use it for enjoyment.
