Presuming that you mean by "11 notes" that there are 11 distinct tones, and you are not counting octave doublings as unique (which they are not in chord notation), and presuming that you are using an equally-tempered tonal system (or comparable) and not something that introduces more than 11 tones/octave nor 7 notes per scale, then that's not a chord. It might be termed a poly chord, but there's no such thing as a 19th or 21st chord. Standard chord notation stops at a 13th. And once you get past adding a few extra notes what you have is a tonal cluster. Or a poly chord. I didn't even have to listen to it to come to that conclusion. However, upon listening to the sound bite, I'd call it a cluster. Granted, my 5 semesters of theory in college were a long time ago, but I don't think music theory rules have changed much since then.

So it is a cluster bomb. Jeez,...you need a job? You win the prize!

No doubling. There's 12 distinct tones. > and presuming that you are using an equally-tempered tonal system (or > comparable) and not something that introduces more than 11 tones/octave > nor 7 notes per scale, Nope.

Good ear Gary. It's not a chord as we're used to calling it, but I found out it does have a name: http://bennewhouse.berkleemusicblogs.com/2009/07/27/12-note-chords/ You win because you came the closest! You can pick up your prize at Delta Terminal 3 ;) Poly |
