Sharing the same fabric and dynamics with psychic life, music has a significant role in primal somato-psychic development and unfolding of representational processes: language itself springs out of musical innate competence and lies forever upon musical qualities. The analysis of a boy, whose existence begun in a condition of dislocation and dyschrony as to his parents’ desire, supports the hypotheses that when ruptures of the dawning sensory organization happen before the possibility itself of the existence of a mother-infant tie, they will affect the core of primal processes together with their rhythmical and sound features. It is suggested that in psychoanalytical research and clinic it is not a matter of applying psychoanalysis to music, but music to psychoanalysis.

Keywords: Dyschrony, music, primal processes, rhythm, silence, temporality
