Time's music
Time's music was an endless song played by the Goddess Time in conjunction with the endless flow of time, (PROSE: Cat's Cradle: Time's Crucible [+]Loading...["Cat's Cradle: Time's Crucible (novel)"]) which was audible in the physical dimension of N-Space as the Music of the Spheres. (PROSE: The Hunting of the Slook [+]Loading...["The Hunting of the Slook (short story)"], AUDIO: The Gift [+]Loading...["The Gift (audio story)"]) The music was time itself resonating forever on the omniversal strings of the Possibility Tree, moving through Space, lighting stars, and turning spheres. (PROSE: The Hunting of the Slook [+]Loading...["The Hunting of the Slook (short story)"])
On the astral plane, Time's music was a timeless melody played on a flute. It sounded like the wind singing. The flute was an instrument of imagination and the music was "the fretwork on which perception is hung", relating to Time's domain of memory. Ace once heard this music as she saw the Goddess pouring time itself into the universe through an astral version of the Crevasse of Memories That Will Be. (PROSE: Cat's Cradle: Time's Crucible [+]Loading...["Cat's Cradle: Time's Crucible (novel)"]) In a later era of Gallifreyan history, wind-like flute music was associated with memories of the Pythia, and played during the giant puppet shows of the Mystery of the New Time.

Some preternaturally dissonant music could threaten Time's music and therefore threaten all universes. (PROSE: The Hunting of the Slook [+]Loading...["The Hunting of the Slook (short story)"], AUDIO: The Gift [+]Loading...["The Gift (audio story)"]) The Eighth Doctor believed that the Gift could end universes in this way.

When Sartia viewed Time's infinity, she saw "time dancing with space, stars flickering like ghosts caught by the music of the spheres". (AUDIO: The Thief Who Stole Time [+]Loading...["The Thief Who Stole Time (audio story)"])
