Graham,

I'm looking at them as tone clusters. A tone cluster is a group of notes that don't all belong in one key (the most famous tone cluster is the common diminished chord, the fully diminished seventh.)

In the first one, I'd call that a Bb instead of an A#. They sound beautifully twisted to me.

You could perhaps call them a dominant/major seven.

G fifth, C root, E third, Bb dominant seven, B major seven, C fifth...same pattern for the next.

Or perhaps you could call them a Cgraham and a Dgraham.

You've got to know your limitations. I don't know what your limitations are. I found out what mine were when I was twelve. I found out that there weren't too many limitations, if I did it my way. -Johnny Cash

It's only music.
