Google the "Petrushka chord" for some info on one, very famous, pair of clashing chords! [;)]

Just piling chords on top of each other can get good results but knowing what harmonies you can generate from a vertical perspective while maintaining linear movement can enable you to control this stuff easily.
I feel for the young today, because I know what I went through.

Jonny,
You will not lose your musical instincts as you familiarize yourself with musical rules. Instead, you will enhance your instincts, because knowledge is power when it comes to fleshing out your compositions.
And don't be worried about losing the ability to make "happy accidents" in your music. This, too, is a false assumption.

I'll just use a triad
Triad = three note chord
In this case, we are talking about common major and minor triads superimposed upon each other, thus creating complex harmony.
