about

from FreeNote CD Track Talk for 13 O’Clock Blues Band’s ‘Devils’ Dance’ -
freenotemusic.com/freenote-cd-track-talk/

"Blackbird is an origin blues, and begins with a Harmonic Cloud in C Ultra Minor. This tonality features the 147th Harmonic as the ultra minor third, yielding the flattest and deepest minor third possible. If it were any lower, it would cease to sound like a minor third, and would sound more like a large 9th. At a point, Skip brings in the cymbals signaling the addition of Harmonics 63 and 189 to the existing 147 ultra minor tonality. 147 is also the half minor third (7/6) of 63, so it exists in 2 dimensions at once. Subsequently, this chord is known as a ‘Transdimensional’ chord, and we also refer to it as the ‘Blackbird’ chord"

Performed in 12-Tone Ultra Plus tuning system, C=528hz

lyrics

Night I was born I heard a blackbird sing
Night I was born I heard a blackbird sing
Song so loud, my ears still ring.

Blackbird came down took me on her back.
Blackbird came down took me on her back,
carried me down past the railroad tracks.

All on the way bird taught me to sing
All on the way bird taught me to sing
Song so fine, my heart still rings.

Then late last night same bird came to me
Late last night blackbird came to me
Didn't believe it 'til she started to sing.

When it was over blackbird turned to fly
When it was over blackbird turned to fly
Sing forever in the endless sky.

Night I was born I heard a blackbird sing.
