Information, as we know it, is either stored materially in memory chips or is on the way as electromagnetic wave in a medium. But both refers to the "carrier" of the information, matter as particle or energy e.g. as wave. But this is not itself the information. Aids must be used to transmit or store information.

Black holes:

One of the theories of information retention at the black hole is from Hawking and states that the information is deposited at the event horizon. This would be an example that this information can be no matter and also no energy, because the particle itself falls into the black hole. I would call the matter-free and energy-free form of the information as the most original form of the information. It was produced by matter or particles. Is now without a spatiotemporal extension nevertheless present.
