Piano Trio "The Chronophage" 钢琴 三重奏

汤姆-库尔特（Tom Coult）的钢琴三重奏《Chronophage》的核心是加速、减速和时间的不一致性。在这部长达 17 分钟的作品中，大提琴和钢琴的线条不断相对加快或减慢，而小提琴只有一个角色--全程加速。聆听者会感到变速的笨拙，因为以前可靠的时间分界线显得不稳定，甚至不安全。三重奏的副标题来自剑桥的靠山钟（The Corpus Clock），这只钟正是利用了这种感觉。这台时钟每五分钟精确一次，但每秒之间的跳动并不均匀，其研磨机制由被称为'Chronophage'（源自希腊语，意为'时间吞噬者'）的可怕金属昆虫擒纵机构驱动"

原文简介:
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’).
