| Jun 23, 2014 at 20:23 | comment | added | Bob Broadley | @user1886419, I like your thinking here. For instance, if you played all 12 pitches as a cluster, and then played it again with just one of the middle pitches missing, would you be able to hear which one was missing? Does a chord of 11 chromatic pitches have any "character"? On the other hand, what about if you played all 12 chromatic pitches as a series of stacked perfect fifths? I bet you'd be able to hear if one was taken away then… (BTW, all 12 chromatic pitches, doubled or not, would be called a Dodecamirror.) | |

Like if you took all notes from two octaves of a scale and played them all at once would that be a chord? How would it be named? | |
| Jun 23, 2014 at 17:11 | comment | added | Matt L. | As for the second 8-note chord, since the whole-half scale is the basic scale for a diminished chord, I would interpret the chord as a Cdim chord with tensions maj7 (yes, this is a tension for a dim chord), 9, 11, and b13: Cdim (maj7,9,11,b13). These are in fact all 'allowed' tensions for a diminished chord. | |
| Jun 23, 2014 at 16:17 | comment | added | Tim | @BobBroadley - if the first scale - half/whole diminished, is C13#9b9, the other - whole/half dim., could be B13#9b9,could it? | |
