How can you do this with a single musical chord?

Software

Apple's GarageBand plus the sounds of a symphony orchestra
I am creating this film score using GarageBand and Jam Pack:Symphony Orchestra.
Next week, I will be getting MUTO's Symphonic Instrument which has additional musical instruments for GarageBand.
Using just this combination, I need a GarageBand project file which creates the feeling of mild discomfort. Currently, I am using a violin trill cord. I need a better cord but I don't know how to do this.
Can you help me? Robert Elliott 12:18, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
