Augoyard - Sonic Terms (2) Flashcards
Haas
Gap in Perception between direct and refelcted sound
Harmonization
EA- transpose a signal and mix different pitches
Hyperlocalization
When a sonic even focuses the listener’s attention to the location
Imitation
Sound emission which mimics a stylistic or cultural reference
Immersion
constant effect perceived above all other sounds: internal feeling of sonic surrounding
Incursion
Unexpected sound that modifies the listener’s behavior
Larsen
Feedback loop between mic / loudspeaker
Limitation
EA - Preventing sound from exceeding a threshold
Lombard
Greater the intensity of the sound environment, louder a person will speak
Mask
sound which ‘hides’ another sound, partially or completely
Metamorphois
Unstable/changing relations between elements of a sound ensemble
Mixing
blending of different and simultaneous sound sources
Narrowing
sensation that space is shrinking through sonic changes
Niche
Sound emission occuring at the most-favorable moment
Noise-Gate
EA: Intensity threshold below which sound is cut
Perdition
Sound that expresses Dereliction / Loss
Phase
desyncronization of two simultaneous signals
Phonomnesis
an Imagined sound that isn’t actually heard (opp. anamnesis, sound causing a memory)
Phonotonie
Euphoria provoked by sound perception. Reflex or behavior inducing
Print-Through
Pre-Echo caused by tape storage artefacting
Quotation
temporary emergence of sound from a known source
Rallentando
Reduction of speed, also: Ritardando
Release
Residual duration of a sound from cessation until silence/background noise
Remanence
Continuation of a sound mentally after it has disappeared
Repetition
reappearance of similar sounds, subjective and/or literal and/or identical
Reprise
Repetition of a musical motif
Repulsion
sound that produces a reaction of rejection
Resonance
sound frequencies matching the natural frequencies of vibration in an object
Reverberation
collection of sound reflections building and decating after emission ceases
Rumble
the sound of the phonograph motor being picked up by the needle
Sharawadji
The sonic sublime, feeling of plentitude caused by inexplicable beauty.
Suspension
feeling of non-fulfillment of a heard sound sequence. (e.g. unresolved suspension)
Synchronization
Rhythm of a sound determining a collective perception
Synecdoche
Selective listening of a single sound element
Tartini
Production of a sound that is phsysiologically audible with no phsyical existence. “Sonic Hologram”
Tremolo
Fast pulsation of a sustained sound in discontinuous frequencies, cuts into square Freq
Ubiquity
Having difficulty or inability to locate a sound source. A sound that is everywhere/nowhere
Vibrato
Modulation of intensity/pitch to enrich a sound
Wall
A continuout high intensity sound giving impression of sound materialized as a wall
Wave
sound or group of sound following curve of intensity over time intervals
Wha-Wha
EA- Sound filtration of successive subtractive/reinforcement of divverse frequencies
Wobble
EA effect of analog tape due to incorrect alignment
Wow
Pitch variations from irregular rotation of a turntable or tape machine
