This sound, it's the fairy, right? Ooh, wow, you know, everyone knows the feeling. This is kind of built out of what we call an unaugmented triad. Augmented means it's got bigger, right? So this is a usual triad. And if I augment that triad, I'm stretching the top note up and it's like, hmm. So I think it's almost like the eyes widening thing is really happening. You've gone, right? Yeah, wow, right. A diminished chord is what happens when you shrink a triad. Triad is a three note chord, one, two, three. Doing this chord is this sound. So, you know, it's literally, in my mind, it's like, you know, that's kind of what's going on. And it's all built out of these basic intervals. Like, if I play this into this interval, right? This is what we call a diminished second if you want to give it a name. And this is a little bit less friendly. It's like, you know what I mean? It's like, this is what we call dissonance, right? And so you might say, well, that just sounds bad and the other one sounds good. But the truth is, this can be absolutely beautiful to the point of devastating. There it is. If you control the dissonance, you have way more meaningful harmony than if you just play consonant stuff all the time. Baked into music and the study of it is so many of the things that make it's better people. But one of them is about not being afraid of dissonance. And actually in music, if we lean into the dissonance and learn to control it, we have this huge broad palate that's so much…
