= Sound mass
{wiki=Sound_mass}
Sound mass, also referred to as "sound mass composition," is a concept primarily associated with contemporary music, particularly in the realm of avant-garde and experimental music. Its focus is on the texture and quality of sound rather than traditional melodic or harmonic structures. In a sound mass, various elements such as timbre, dynamics, pitch density, and spatial distribution of sound are explored. Composers utilizing this technique often create dense clusters of sound that may evolve gradually over time.
