Noam Sheriff publicly acknowledges
the achievements of Peter Hübner:

“It is with the greatest pleasure that I recommend to you the creations of Mr. Peter Hübner in the various fields of music:
  1. Musical compositions
  2. Books
  3. The new revolutionary system
    recently developed for recording music.
Mr. Peter Hübner is a brilliant mind and a great innovator in all fields of music and sound. His searching soul illuminates new aspects and opens new horizons in understanding and experiencing music.
He is a musician, philosopher, poet and innovator in one man. Every assistance which might be given to him will be rewarded in the future as his thinking in the field of sonics is unique.”
