    I thought someone would say this. Sadly, the humidifier is long gone.

    I’m using this chord in an octatonic song my band is playing!

    It’s 7 out of 8 of the octatonic. Forte 7-31

    Seems pretty closely related to Scriabin's Prometheus Chord, except he would've normally omitted the 5th.

    suprisingly sweet chord for something full of so many dissonances i assume it's because the conflicts are always nearly an octave apart

    Yes, spacing is very important with smoothing out dissonances.

    Swap the B with a Bb and you get a pretty common/standard voicing of an Ab13(#11) used in Jazz.

    Interesting 🤔 It sounds discordant and yet stable at the same time, weird!

    Yes. It has a perfect 5th in the bottom to support it, yet the top is quite dissonant.

    If you add an A note to make it a chord that's made of an entire Ab half step-whole step scale, how would you notate that? Is it possible to have a flat 9th and a sharp 9th on the same chord, naming wise? Maybe as a flat 16th, I guess?

    Well, chord labeling is not an exact science. If I'm understanding this correctly, you could have A-flat 7, b9, #9, 6, #4 chord, but you would have to spell the A as a B double-flat. If you spell it as an A natural, it would be an augmented octave (#8). It's a lot to say out loud, but it does exist.
