The term “metronomical” blends metronomic (mechanical regularity) with metronome as social law. A metronomical society values efficiency, synchronization, and predictable cycles—factories, school bells, fiscal quarters, broadcast schedules. Between 1969 and 1972, this society was at its peak of modernist certainty, even as punk and prog rock rebelled against it. Bands like Yes, Genesis, or King Crimson used odd time signatures not to reject rhythm but to stretch it. In this fictional work, “The Metronomical Society” would be the antagonist: a world where every gesture is timed, every emotion quantized. The metronome ticks not as music but as discipline.
