A new music generation system for stress resolution is proposed. The sounds in which there are 1/f fluctuations such as the sounds of a running stream, insects and windchimes are effective for stress resolution. It is known that the fluctuation of 8 [Hz] observed in tremolo vibrato of sounds of insects, etc. derives from a natural phenomenon called Schumann resonance. Then, a music generation system was developed that used the Schumann resonance wave in music for stress resolution, and the stress resolution effect was measured from pulse wave information measured at the wrist of the subjects.
