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. | 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.

These chords work particularly well if you drop the root note down an octave, better mimicking the shape of the [[harmonic series]]. (''For example you can play "chord 0-15-19-20-21-22-23" instead of "chord 0-3-7-8-9-10-11"''). | These chords work particularly well if you drop the root note down an octave, better mimicking the shape of the [[harmonic series]].

Note names and common practice titles assume C is the [[tonic]] but of course you can transpose to any other key. | Note names and common practice titles assume C is the [[tonic]] but of course you can transpose to any other key. | ||
