No Bernie I haven't seen chords.
I hear chords, some quite pleasing to my ears.
Others not quite so, or not at all.

Personally I don't look too closely at things that work.

Hoping your post is in jest.

So Tony, have you actually seen these so-called "chords"? Being a scientist, I must have empirical proof that they exist before I can accept their existence to be anything but anecdotal.

I think it started in e minor and it's mainly a mixture of descending 5ths and 4ths, it wanders around in F for a bit then ends in C. The sound is a mixture of the Mark II violins from Redtron and the tremolo strings preset from the Synth 1 VST. I recorded it using Reaper and added some extra reverb in Audacity.
