Root Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 I think we ought to define two new types of chords: "augminished" and "demented" What notes do you guys think should be in these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue JC Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 What notes? All of them. Everybody's got to believe in something. I believe I'll have another beer. W. C. Fields Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finale Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 In my case, I'm pretty tired that notes go only from A to G (even though the Germans have A to H). Imagine how incredible a S7b13#11 would sound, or a Zdim/Wb9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProfD Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Music seems to be complicated enough with 12 notes, a few chords and scales. But, I'd love to hear that S7b13#11 (Shearing chord) or Zdim/Wb9 (Zawinul chord) PD "The greatest thing you'll ever learn, is just to love and be loved in return."--E.

marino Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 C augminished is, of course, C E Ab B D F (aaaaaarrgghhhh!!) C demented: Too many possibilities to mention! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Iverson Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Luckily for us guitarists, the C augminished chord would be impossible to fret. Two guitarists could manage it, though, and sometimes I have heard stuff along those lines... most likely unintentional I would imagine! (One kid I knew didn't understand the concept of modulation and would continue playing in the same key when the rest of the band modulated - with a blissful coprophagic grin on his face! Nice kid but somehow I never went out of my way to play with him!) And I have heard some 20th century classical music with chords about that ugly! (No reflection on guys like Bartok and Messaien!)

kanker. Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 F demented - F (probably needs to be held with a sustain pedal), then going up - Eb, G, A, B, C, D in the left hand, right hand Ab, Dd, E, Gb, Bb A ROMpler is just a polyphonic turntable.

wmp Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 I'd play C augminished C Eb E Gb Ab I only play demented and demolished chords by accident. --wmp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Link Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 How about the defenestrated chord? Take whatever chord you were thinking of playing and throw it out the window. aka âmisterdregsâ Nord Electro 5D 73 Yamaha P105 Kurzweil PC3LE7 Motion Sound KP200S Schimmel 6-10LE QSC CP-12 Westone AM Pro 30 IEMs Rolls PM55P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Link Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 And then there's the debased chord. You leave out the root, but are ashamed of it. aka âmisterdregsâ Nord Electro 5D 73 Yamaha P105 Kurzweil PC3LE7 Motion Sound KP200S Schimmel 6-10LE QSC CP-12 Westone AM Pro 30 IEMs Rolls PM55P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lerber3 Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 With a few more fingers, you could play an extension chord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Link Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 There is, of course, the augmentation chord where a pair of notes are played abnormally loud, causing widespread distraction, especially among male listeners. And if you find yourself unavoidably attracted to a young woman of questionable character who plays the augmentation chord for any and all listeners, you might find yourself in need of the Augmentin - (amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium) chord to cure your ills. aka âmisterdregsâ Nord Electro 5D 73 Yamaha P105 Kurzweil PC3LE7 Motion Sound KP200S Schimmel 6-10LE QSC CP-12 Westone AM Pro 30 IEMs Rolls PM55P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfonso Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Originally posted by Blue JC: What notes? All of them. It already exists, in 2 main versions, spread all across the 88keys keyboard, it uses a mathematical sequence to use all 12 elements of the equal temperament. Those 2 chords are named "Mother Chord" and Grandmother Chord", coming from the studies of Nicholas Slonimsky. I used the 2nd one in "Mea Culpa", the track n°9 of my last work, it has a strong tritonal feel (the presence of all the notes probably enhances the simmetries and the medium values) and it's very very psychotropic, in an obscure and daunting way. It seems a bit OT in a demential harmonic research thread, but sometimes reality sounds weirder than you might expect... Guess the Amp .... now it's finished... Here it is!

Holdsworth's symmetric scale, 2 semitones 1 tone 2s 1t.....more for it's geometry than its sound. It's a strongly modulating sequence, if you do it in a static harmony it's awful, done as it should links different tonalities beautifully, I like it descending and starting from a tone interval. More than playing it too long it can be used for few notes to shift the solo in a modulation with an amazing sense of fluidity. Guess the Amp .... now it's finished... Here it is!
