Sound Mass - A collective complex sound made up of a number of "voices" that are roughly equal in contribution.

A Sound Mass is normally quite dense, complex and continuous, though it may also be soft while remaining dense or active. Essentially, Sound Mass is a homogeneous, rather static, texture of some kind. The object of listening attention is focused on the subtle but ever-changing details within the Sound Mass, articulated by minute shifts of balance, quickly emerging figures, occasional dynamic sound events, and often a high level of energy wherein the sound itself can be an exciting emotional stimulus.
