Tony,

Without checking your MP3, I'm guessing that the Db and D are not played either at the same time or in the same octave. Most likely, these are played as an arpeggio, perhaps letting the notes ring into each other.

Depending on the context (the chords before and after this), the C and G seem to suggest some sort of C chord, but the Db and D (flat nine and nine) are unusual.

Playing it with C in the bass going C G Db D G, it sounds like a G chord with C in the bass, moving with what I'd call a C# to a D. If it's played as an arpeggio, it has a "Lydian Chromatic" feel to it a la George Russell.

Playing it retrograde of that: G D Db C G gives it a C chord feel, it has a resolution somewhat similar to "How Dry I Am"

In any case, I wouldn't ordinarily call this a "chord" but rather a tone cluster (if played all at once) or simply an accompaniment. If I absolutely had to call it a chord, it would either be a Csus2addb9 (the D is the suspended second...no third...the Db is the flat nine) or a Gsus2add#11 (the C is the suspended second...no third...the C# is the sharp eleven.) These names (though, I believe, accurate) are so unlikely as to be of much use. They'd scare the guitar player. Better to simply write out the notes as played.

Good one!

Mike
