Acceleration, deceleration, and the inconsistent nature of time are
at the heart Piano Trio "The Chronophage" by Tom Coult. Throughout
the 17-minute work, cello and piano lines constantly speed up or
slow down relative to one another, whilst the violin has only one
role - to accelerate throughout. The listener feels clunky gear
changes, as previously reliable demarcations of time seem unsteady
- even unsafe. The trio's subtitle comes from The Corpus Clock in
Cambridge, a clock that plays with exactly this perception.
Completely accurate every five minutes, the clock lurches unevenly
from second to second, the grinding mechanism driven by the
terrifying metal insect escapement known as the 'Chronophage' (from
the Greek meaning 'time-eater').
