Summary/Abstract: The essay focuses on completing one of Husserl’s signitive theory with a new perspective. The discussion of the signitive theory is based more on the apperception’s function than to the perceptive one. We have observed that music produces for the ʻSelfʼ different feelings. But one of the most seductive feelings we want to discuss related to music is the perpetual floating-feeling, which is quite similar to the levitation process and it has connections with the idea of the lightness of the Being in some circumstances. Despite these, stays nostalgia. We are introducing a model based on two terms, as permanent {ʻintoʼ}-falling Self’s condition into the sounds and the signitive-apperceptive-intuition. The basic assumption is that music is a continuously phenomenological-fall which extenses the Husserlian theory more, completing it day by day. We hope that our concepts proposed here, signitive-apperceptive-intuition and the {ʻintoʼ}-falling will bring a new light in modelling the sound in a phenomenological manner.
