Dissonance: Where the Rhythm Goes to Die

Dissonance is the intentional use of multiple notes or sounds at the same time, causing a harsh, unpleasant effect. It's like when your aunt plays the spoons at a family reunion.

But be warned, dear reader, dissonance is not to be trifled with. Prolonged exposure can lead to earplugs, migraines, and a strong desire to scream "Make it stop, make it stop, MAKE IT STOP!!!"

Dissonance in Action:

• <ประก The infamous "sawing" technique, where you play two notes at once, but one is really, really off-pitch


• The "stair-step" method, where you play a note, then immediately play the same note, but slightly off-tune

Dissonance in Music:

Dissonance is often used in music to create a sense of tension, like when your ex's song comes on the radio and you're trying to have a good time at the party.

But don't worry, dissonance is not all bad! Some people even find it soothing, like when your aunt plays the spoons at a family reunion.
