discordantly
In jarring conflict
Discordantly means in a way that clashes or lacks harmony.
Sounds that combine discordantly grate against each other: The orchestra tuned up discordantly before the concert began.
The word extends beyond music to anything jarringly out of sync: His cheerful whistle rang discordantly in the somber room.
