Ruminations on the Brian Eno A#$!-hole chord: Alternative Voicings
A conversation between musicians James Blake and Brian Eno triggered this episode on what the latter calls ’the arsehole chord’. This video discusses the chord structure: an incomplete extended chord in thirds, or, equivalently a form of tetrachord Pitch-Class Set
4-18. A voicing with an exposed open minor 9th interval yields a highly dissonant chord. Orchestration, timbre and register affect the perceived chord tension level. Alternatively close the minor 9th interval by inserting a new pitch-class and obtain extended chords in thirds, pentachord sets and two-layer polychords. These alternative voicing options are illustrated with short musical examples.
