Alexander Scriabin's Prometheus chord, also known as the "Mystic chord," is a six-note synthetic chord that plays a crucial role in his harmonic language, especially in his orchestral work "Prometheus: The Poem of Fire." This chord is built from a series of perfect fourths and augmented fourths, creating a unique, dissonant sound that defies traditional tonal harmony. The chord consists of the notes C, F♯, B♭, E, A, and D, which can be thought of as a stack of fourths: C, F♯, B♭, E, A, D. This structure allows for a wide range of tonal ambiguities and modulations, giving Scriabin's music its distinctive mystical and ethereal quality. The Prometheus chord exemplifies Scriabin's innovative approach to harmony, reflecting his interest in theosophy and his desire to create a transcendental musical experience.

Clifford, thank you so much for your hard work, making video, notes examples! very informative and also very inspiring. Scriabin Schoenberg Stravinsky is very interesting especially on guitar with jazz rock fusion interpretation

Cracking stuff cliff a sonic pallet and a different vibe to the mysterious Lydian mode have a great day 👍

[@CliffordMartinOnline]

Thanks Phil! 👍

Another inspiring Video - thanks a lot, Mr. Clifford! Playing your examples I unconsciously had the concept Of G Melodic Minor over the Tonic E in mind (without g). This works good for me because it fits to my playing-style and it seems to have this certain Scriabin-Sound.

[@CliffordMartinOnline]

Thanks Rolf! Yep, without the G note the magic is created because there is never a resolution that the ear is accustomed to hearing or expecting. 👍

Wow interesting, what a beautiful sound. In a band scenario, it could get messy with overdrive, but Mahavishnu managed to make these kind of harmonies work so lets go for it.

[@CliffordMartinOnline]

Thanks! The way the chord is set out it can sound either quite sparse or ironically very congested. It's great for rich piano harmonies or plucked guitar vamps. Also, really useful for orchestral "Suspenseful" writing. 👍

Fantástico saludos desde Spain

[@CliffordMartinOnline]

Hi Joseph, Thanks!👍

[@luizcadu]

It's basically a Lydian b7 chord/scale, isn't it? Liked!

[@CliffordMartinOnline]

Thanks Luiz! Yes, But it has no 5th which creates a bit of magic as it never revolves to our expected resolutions, and so it possess a very mystic quality to it. 👍

[@luizcadu]

@@CliffordMartinOnline That's true! In fact, I realize that omitting, adding or altering notes of existing scales is a way of adding an original perspective to them.
