\"N\u00d8MADS\"Chronometroph\u00f8bia<\/em>,<\/span>\u00a0the newest song from\u00a0N\u00d8MADS<\/a>‘\u00a0forthcoming ‘Ph\u00f8biac’\u00a0project. The band has been releasing one song each month since February, with May’s installment being Chronometroph\u00f8bia<\/em>\u00a0(aka the fear of clocks, watches and time).\u00a0The track,\u00a0mixed and mastered by Michael Abiuso at\u00a0Behind The Curtains<\/a>\u00a0studio,\u00a0is\u00a0a psychedelic, fuzzed-out instrumental composed around the metronomic concept of a beating clock, set against the sonic textures of grinding gears, shifting hands, and the tick-tock of grandfather clocks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In frontman Nathan Lithgow’s words, “The fear of clocks is very compelling to me as a sound-scape metaphor. As a physical object, a clock not only “tells” time, but also represents the passing of time and the concrete idea of the present tense. Chronometrophobia is tangentially connected to Chronophobia, the fear of time or of time’s passing, but as a compositional theme I think the clicks\/ticks\/tocks\/beeps and bells provide a bit of textural context to the song as a whole.” \u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n
