Proliferation

Layers of vocal sounds added to the general soundtrack

“Wings of desire” features proliferations when the angels are hearing the surrounding peoples’ voices.

 

Characteristics:

  • Add information on narrative and overall context
  • May incorporate too much information to extract spatial coordinates
  • In correlation with reverberation, it becomes a convention to suggest internal subjective sounds

Related effects: Subjectification
Opposite effect: Elimination

(Chion, 1999)
