I'm not clear on what you mean. The interval in the chord? The interval between the melody notes?

Now I'm really confused! :)

[quote=JeffS65] [br]Versus a more standard interval? Same note but different context would make the same chord/note sound different in context?

Different notes or different chords create different contexts. Could you give me an example of what you are describing?

Because I see my questions were confusing..oops.

This was not too different from what faith was asking. Essentially, can the same note read differently in tone or melodically based the context. Better put, no note in the 'devil's triad' sounds 'evil' on their own but within the triad, they sound ominous. In a way, I kinda answered myself. I didn't know if there was some theory behind why the same note in different contexts reads differently.
