I am trying to find the name of a dyad, C and an octave D (no 3rd, no 5th), played at the same time. There is C6/9, C4/9, C7/5, etc. etc. and two power chords played together like a C5 and D5, which would be either a C5/D5 or D5/C5, depending on what dyad is played first from left to right. I find it hard to believe that there isn't a name for this kind of couplet. A Cadd9 (no 3rd, no 5th), a C2, or a C9/5 anyone? :?

Between two notes I've always just called them by their interval. eg. Playing 3rds, 6ths.

So for a C/D diad in my mind it's acceptable to just call it a major 2nd. Hope that helps.

That works for me too.

Also known as a "whole tone".

Calling that distance a "maj 2nd" or "whole tone" is incorrect. The placement is above the octave. Theory wise of course...
How I see it... it's basically a "harmelodic" interpretation of a 9 chord or an inverted dominant 7 voicing depending on which note you wish to be the root.
Rock On
