So when I was at college in 1974, there was a guy in my class, Phil Crevier, who wrote a little program to print all possible combinations of the 12 tone scale, called Sadist Factory, and he played it in relays on the organ for 3 days.

that's as far as my understanding goes-I may play chords without awareness of their identity

@chresti: as long as your time is good, the notes take a back seat!

that's a lot of 5 note chords!

He had done that the year before though.

If you like chord catalogues, Warren Burt has a similar piece: Why Don't Jazzpersons
Use These Chords? which is all just intervals.

jazzpersons! ha!

Also, my iOs app Enumero is about counting, and it can go through all possible permutations of, in its case, a diatonic scale.

here is a pdf that johnson made of some of the chords, showing the pattern written out in musical notation

Mashup with Elizabeth Clair Prophet calls and invocations in tongues would be nice. Though can't say if Ashley would think so.
