Primordial Chord

Deified

Inspired by the primordial chord in the Radiolab podcast: The Catachlysm Sentence. It consists of all twelve notes in the western scale played simultaneously (although we played only 6 chromatically adjacent notes during every "verse").

Unintentionally used all notes of the diatonic scale, overlapping them for chords, essentially exploring the "Primordial Chord" concept. 

Context: this week was in the fog of war in Gaza (where the Gazan hospital was wrongly reported to have been bombed by Israel).

Composer and pianist Missy Mazzoli puts forward an idea of The Primordial Chord. Her Primordial Chord - a collection of all 12 notes available in the Western musical scale - is meant to be played by three people on the piano (which provides eight octaves and sufficient space to accommodate the three musicians). Here is a meditative twist on it.

Resumed uploading after several years of not bothering although we have been jamming the whole time, except for during the Coronavirus pandemic where it was sporadic, although other newcomers discovered netpd to be perfect for lockdowns, uploading their own tinkering via @unsounds-netpd where they often test new virtual instruments and effects thanks to Beem's contributions to netpd code.

We all record live via netpd which is software for jamming on the internet developed by Roman & Enrique. Anyone is welcome to install netpd on their Windows Apple or Linux computer, connect to the server and chat with whoever is online and/or join in on the jam.
