 ==== Parent chords ====
-These chords work particularly well if you drop the root note down an octave, better mimicking the shape of the [[harmonic series]].
+My list of in my opinion the most harmonious 'parent chords' in 12edo, which you can use as palettes to build novel and pretty smaller chords. Choose one of these chords, take any subset of 2 or more notes from it, and you will make another, also harmonious chord.
-(e.g you can play "chord 0-15-19-20-21-22-23" instead of "chord 0-3-7-8-9-10-11")
-You can also of course take any subset of 2 or more notes from one of these chords to make another, also harmonious chord.
