Q. just want to know
A. There's no such thing as "phat chords".
Quartal harmony is harmony built in 4ths, as opposed to the more common tertial harmony, which is built in 3rds.
The opening chord of Kraftwerk's "Trans Europe Express" is a great example of a quartal harmony.
Some early proponents of quartal harmony include Claude Debussy, Arnold Schoenberg, and Igor Stravinsky. Jazz pianists Duke Ellington, McCoy Tyner, Bill Evans, and Art Tatum also make/made liberal use of quartal structures.
decorating chords on the piano?
Q. I know most of the chords on the piano.
I'm just tired of playing chords so simply.
any websites on how to make it more enjoyable to play them?
and how to decorate a chord?
if that made sense lol.

A. If you're talking about jazz chords, the link below should be helpful. It covers the most commonly used jazz chords. It doesn't include quartal harmonies (chords built in fourths) but it has just about everything else.
e a a# d does anyone know the name of this chord? the d is after the octave(13th)?
Q. the chord is moveable, and played on piano. thanks.
A. It would help to know the context, such as the key, the chord before and after. is this from jazz, classical or modern music?
Is it possible any of these notes are non-chord tones, and that there are other notes that are chord tones?
in tonal music we don't usually have chords with two notes of the same name. but If we do in fact have the notes you stated then respell the a# as Bb then I'd call this D9 flat 13 with omitted third. this is unlikely unless we're talking about jazz, and even then you usually have a third in the chord.
If E is the root then we'd have a quartal seventh chord.
but I tend to think a# respelled as Bb is the root,
so it's most likely: Bb Maj7 11
in pitch class set theory we'd call this chord [0278] but this kind of analysis isn't very useful outside of modern music.
