| What struck me for the first time was the relationship of this style with the style of jazz known as bebop, spurts of dissonant, jagged sound. |
| Both compositions are quite dissonant and require careful reading of many accidentals. |
| As the string continues its natural division, creating ever-higher overtones, the intervals between them become smaller and sound more dissonant. |
| Charlotte will not stress the wide dissonant intervals that grind in the bass or the harmonic uncertainty that besets this opening. |
| The drinkers perform a comedic caterwaul while the folk singers create a dissonant background to the absurdity. |
| They're uncomfortable, and sometimes dissonant, but mostly they're strangely fun, which makes all these other qualities more bearable. |
