Tom Johnson - The Chord Catalogue

(Experimental Intermedia - xirecords.org)
[Genres: music theory]

e616761xjgg.jpg (10413 bytes)All the 8178 chords possible in one octave, ON ONE CD!! Not exactly the most nut-pumping idea in the world, as the piano played chords are not exactly sit-down-and-listen style music. In fact, most people would call it boring crap in about 3 minutes. But that isn't the point. This interesting mathematical album can actually be hypnotic if listened to for a while. It's also very interesting as background music… great for parties! Well, weird parties, that is. Whatever the use, this exercise in musical theory is definitely worth checking out. It doesn't exactly rock your ass off… so what? It's better than the raparone of Eminem or the happy-whorey female divas of today's mainstream radio generation! So go out on a limb and check this out, I mean Tom Johnson played his fingers off on the piano making this, the least you could do is try it.
