I came across this video, originally titled â€˜The Mother of All Chords (really)â€™ on Rick Beatoâ€™s you tube channel - itâ€™s channel about Music Theory fyi, he is not discussing the JQ in any way!â€¨ (click 'show more')
This video is a brief discussion of a few all-interval twelve-tone row chords
â€¨https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All-interval_twelve-tone_row#Mother_chord

â€¨â€¨It was Arnold Schoenberg who developed the twelve-tone technique, he was a major influencer in this era of â€œmodernâ€ composition. He was also Jewish and his work was forbid from being published by the Nazi party for being â€˜degenerateâ€™

â€¨In the video you will hear such eerie, unsettling and frightening musical sounds as;â€¨
The mother chord created by Fritz Heinrich Klein (student of Alban Berg; contemporary of Schoenberg)
â€¨The Grandmother chord created by Nicolas Slonimsky (a Russian Jew) â€¨â€¨

Although the connection may not seem immediately obvious here, I find it interesting when I stumble across something like this. I see it as a reminder that we donâ€™t even realise the extend to which the â€œcultureâ€ around us has been created. â€¨
Music has a very powerful effect on our emotions and well being. What is the effect of listening to music that is structured to be jarring and unsettlingâ€¦.?? This sort of music if often used in horror films to put the audience in a state of terror and bring you to the edge of your seat. â€¨I donâ€™t think it necessary in a healthy society to have music for this purpose, I believe itâ€™s a tool in creating the experience of fear that we have gotten so used to.
