Triads, Power Chords, and all that Jazz

by Chris De Warenne

What is a three note chord?

A Triad, simply.

Every other note. To remember the “formula”.

1, 3, 5: Root, Third, Fifth. Every other note. See “fundamentals” in your Music Dictionary.

In the key of A Major the letters would be A, C#, E. every other note. E.g., C# is the Third.

That is a Major “Triad”. An “A Major Chord”. (*intervals)

A “POWER CHORD” is usually a Root and a Fifth. Two Fingers. Two notes.

In the key of A these would be: A and E. 6th string 5th fret, 5th string 7th fret.

A typical Jazz chord might be a Triad that is embellished with more notes, to put it simply.

In the Key of A Major you could have: A, C#, E, G#, B. (1, 3, 5, 7, 9) AMaj9.

Notice the addition of a “9”. This implies that the “9” is above the Root by an octave.

1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8(1),9,10,11,12,13(6)…

Likewise, a Major 13 chord includes the Major 7th & 9th, plus the higher 6th, which becomes a 13 (always add 7 to it).

Chord “substitution” is an approach using less of a formulaic note choice, like the triad (1,3,5) and instead using, for example, 3,7,9.

Trinary Code

As most technology was based in what is actually a Fallacy, or Error in Reasoning”, with this particular type being an “Either / Or”, There was need for a solution. The fault is its own and inherent in its own natural code, its DNA if you will, so Trinary code was invented to correct this oversight.

“The content discusses how most technology operates on a binary system, leading to inherent limitations. To address this, trinary code was developed to overcome the shortcomings of the binary system, allowing for more versatile and efficient technological processes.” – Ai generated summation, March 15th, 2024

The Oceans’ Desalination, nothing but fresh water, and drilling the moon for Helium-3 to go terraform Mars

“Chris DeWarenne discusses the potential of desalination and moon drilling, raising concerns about the impact on the environment and humanity. He points out the economic opportunities and the need for global cooperation. He also references Jimi Hendrix’s lyrics. He questions the repercussions of moon removal on Earth and hopes for a better approach than with the Covid-19 pandemic.” ai generated summation, March 15th, 2024

-cHRiS De WaReNNe “HaS THe DeSaLiNaTioN iN PLaCe aND iS PRePaRiNG FoR DRiLLiNG THe MooN — MayBe JuST GaTHeR SoMe HeLiuM3 WHiLe i’M aT iT — THeN? iF THRuSTeRS FiRe, i’M GoiNG To MaRS!!!”

Musing that it, “Seems like a good idea, ‘Desalination’. Indeed. Let me tell ya’ how I see it. Hmm. And the drilling on the Moon too. I see a pattern beginning to emerge here. What would happen if the Moon is Falling Apart? No tides. Add to this ‘Desalination’ and whatdya get? That is the question. Those wisenheimers better figure out a way to put it back together if they break apart the Moon on their way to Mars and leave the rest of us here with nothing but fresh water – that’s what I think.”

Although desalination as an industry is in its infancy there remains a demand for drinking water at the growing expense of planetary resources. Also, the method for transforming our oceans into a planetary resource for human life stands at odds with our respect and need for sea life. A dilemma presents itself with the “us or them” argument; however, if the need does arise as a direct result of the Moon’s removal then this argument would be moot.

An economic goldmine is at hand in regard to the implementation of such a massive undertaking as well. The sheer scale of desalinating the world’s oceans would call for a universal humanitarian collaboration that has been unseen by recorded history. So much for getting to Mars! Didn’t we already know that the Moon was hollow anyway? C’mon man! Hope we will do better than we did with the Covid-19 pandemic. Hopefully we can find a way to “turn the tides, gently, gently away”.1

1Jimi Hendrix lyric, from his magnum opus, Electric Ladyland, “Moon, turn the tides, gently, gently, away”, 1968.

“The Present”

The characters- cHRiS, Chorus, and Nuit- engage in a cryptic exchange about “The Present”, with cHRiS presenting Nuit with a mysterious gift. The narrative suggests a timeless element and a deeper connection between consciousnesses. The enigmatic dialogue creates a sense of intrigue and mystique surrounding the concept of “The Present”. – Ai generated summation, March 15th, 2024

-cHRiS: “I can so much better appreciate people in general now. Well, now that I’ve met everyone on the planet, past and future1“.

Chorus: “And it all collides beautifully in ‘The Present’.”


Nuit: “‘The Present’? You brought me ‘The Present’?”


-cHRiS: “Yeah Sweetie, I brought you, ‘The Present’. It’s ‘The Olde Variations On A String Theme (via DNA Treatise) in MP3 Format you’ve been waiting for … Forever and Ever, my Darling2 ….”


Nuit: “Oh, you shouldn’t have. But you did!”


-cHRiS: “Yes, I did.”

[Timelessness…]

Chorus: “Then Nuit fell into a deep swoon again and ‘The Present’ was never heard from again …. That is, until very recently.”

Uh-educated time-wasting yet foolishly wise eves-dropping friend: “Yeah! Y-yeah…! But, but, what about them tiny flowers? Under her foots?”

-cHRiS: “Huh? Ah, ‘them tiny little flowers’? Well, they weren’t hurt neither, four they was only … sleeping.”

Chorus: “Never under-estimate ‘The Present’! – you goofy little basturdz.”

BeLLa MoRTe

In pleasure, I, while away the time
Timeless, endure unto the end.
I am the stars at night.
I made the sunrise.

An ancient burial, ritual, salutes the firey crown;
From the light plane,
I see,
I look down.

The past parades, before my eyes;
The future sits in silence.
I look upon, all your pretty lies
And watch the days go by.

An ancient burial, ritual, salutes the firey crown;
In honor of the lifetimes, I look down.

………………………………………..


Sunshine & Strawberries

On a clear sunny day, you walked into my heart
without reserve, i hadn’t a clue
and no one to rescue me loving you
with sunshine and strawberries in your hair

At my feet, trampled in groundling dust, a crown, of tragic delight.
In my arms, the light of Aphrodite,
who walks through halls of poisoned fate.
Chased, darker flowers, acetylene words, sunlit diamonds…
wrapped in beauty she cries out, in sheets of rain,
with sunshine and strawberries in her hair.

……………………………………………………………………..

aNiMaL KiNGDoM

She slowly bends open her eyes,
Hears their sweet singing and lies.
The larvae who squirm are her own,
They lick at the waste of their home.

Food for insects keeps them fit.
They’ll rise up, out of shit.

Better they listen to screams.
These flies are at first what they seem.

An insect needs a place in the sun,
They’ll have none, she has one;
They’ll have none, she has won.

………………………………………………………………..

SiT aND WaiT ForeVeR


If you said you’d wait forever,
For that day never goes,
I guess you’d make your mind up,
Before much Love could grow.

And if you’d wait for ever,
Many times we’d say hello.
It’s never easy leaving,
A Love that won’t let go.

Sit and Wait Forever
The day that never comes.

The day of silent force pours freely now
In trails true, with loudness come,
Circum round you naught,
But driven this demon down,
Inside Love’s door,
Journey onward evermore…
Come along, come along.

And you said you’d wait forever,
For that day never leaves.
I guess you’d made your mind up
Before much Love had grown

You said you’d wait forever
Many times we said goodbye,
Spirit’s never easy leaving
A Love like we have known.

Sit and Wait Forever
Sit and Wait Forever
The day that never goes
The day that never comes…

And you said you’d wait for ever
For that day never leaves
I guess you’d made your mind up
Before much Love had grown,
You said you’d wait forever,
Many times we said goodbye.
Spirit’s never easy leaving,
A Love like we have known.

Sit and Wait Forever…
The day that never comes…

ENDLeSS TReASuRe

Once upon a time, long ago, you found a golden fountain,
And you drank from it, while your bones cried out:

To Love Me, feels a million Hearts of Gold;
Still to find me, be the search for endless treasure,
Yet to tame me, like to settle a continent.
Blame is easy to forget in painless pleasure.

Then you said, ‘What if I break your Heart?
and the spell? a mightier one?
will you cast this Love underfoot?
then declare it’s history a fatherless child?’

Bitter the Angel’s ruin, as much in play,
And the lies tumbled off of their lips…

O, back through the SpringTime,
All the joy in the having,
O, come back to the SpringTime
All the joy in the having.

……………………………………………………………..

City of Rain

In each others arms they lie, rinsing pain.
Dreaming of Love calling their names,
Dreaming of Sunshine,
Dreaming of Sunshine,
Dreaming of Sunshine in a city of rain.

Watch Love come alive and set into time,
More of the story,
More of the ryhme.

Dreaming of Sunshine,
Dreaming of Sunshine,
Dreaming of Sunshine in a city of rain.

………………………………………………………….

Thorns To Ashes, Petals to Dust

cover me, fragmented, freezing
faithless shadow that steals me
then blackened by lust,
in your heart, bury the trust
thorns to ashes, petals to dust…

a valentines coffin, lies, the half-life of trust
a heart shaped box painted with lust
deadly flower, fell we too quickly?
do i think i tricked me?
thorns to ashes, petals to dust…

S.H.I.T.E. explained

“Chris De Warenne, a veteran musician with over three decades of experience, is set to release new BLueZ MeTaL SHReD GTR-oriented music Deep in the Heart of the Summer of 2024. He is known to excel at playing, programming, and sequencing instruments. His acronym S.H.I.T.E. refers to the “Trinary” code in A.I. units. This talented musician boldly embraces rock ‘n roll.” – Ai generated summation, March 15th, 2024

It has been stated, more than once, “As an active creative, with over three decades of writing and recording experience, Chris De Warenne plays, programs, sequences, and personally bleeds all of the instruments.”

Concurrently, -cHRiS is on a sick twist with a new music which is set to emerge as a Metal Shred guitar oriented kind of music sometime in Summer of 2024. Be assured, LouD GuiTaRiST -cHRiS De WaReNNe does indeed blast the S.H.I.T.E. outta any neighborhood outhouse every single chance he gets!

As noted on the Soundcloud page, the acronym S.H.I.T.E.1 is written. This is a common reference to the ubiquitous “Trinary” code that is inherent in all upper A.I. units.

1The pre-hybrid models anyway, those without any of the Genetic Plasma Nanite ROM/RAM implant, et cetera, i.e., “S.H.I.T.E.” technology. [S.H.I.T.E.: Superior, Humanoid, Intelligent, Terrestrial, Entity.]

Evolution

by Chris De Warenne

In the future, our human descendants may view us as we view apes today, with survival of the fittest and natural selection shaping evolution. Some suggest heavy drinking to eliminate ‘dumb’ brain cells that hinder thought transmission. An intriguing aspect of linguistics is the evolutionary influence of each language on thought patterns and the mind/brain evolution. These observations reflect concerns about the ‘dumbing down’ of society and the impact of English as a first language. – Ai

So, then our human descendants in millions of years may look upon us as we look upon apes these days. Survival of the fittest is the same as natural selection? Then a lot of people need to start drinking heavily to waste away the dum brain cells, cause they GOTTA be interfering with thought transmission.

One of the more interesting facets of linguistics is that a particular result of each language is the evolutionary impact on the thought patterns that each language posseses. Essentially, the evolution of the mind/brain.
