Electroacoustic music is a broad art-music tradition that integrates recorded acoustic sound and electronically generated or processed sound into coherent musical works. It privileges timbre, gesture, texture, and spatialization over conventional melody-and-harmony song forms, often employing tape manipulation, synthesis, live electronics, and computer-based signal processing. Works are frequently composed for fixed media (stereo or multichannel loudspeakers) and may also involve live performers who are transformed in real time. Concert presentation typically emphasizes spatial diffusion and immersive listening, and the repertoire spans concert works, radio pieces, installations, and soundscape compositions.

Soundtrack is music created to accompany and enhance visual media such as film, television, and video games. It includes original scores (instrumental or vocal music composed specifically for the picture) and, at times, curated compilations of pre-existing songs. Stylistically, soundtrack is a meta-genre that can encompass orchestral symphonic writing, jazz, electronic and synth-driven textures, choral forces, popular song, and experimental sound design. Its defining trait is functional storytelling: themes, motifs, harmony, rhythm, and timbre are shaped by narrative needs, character psychology, pacing, and editing. Common features include leitmotifs for characters or ideas, modular cues that can be edited to picture, dynamic orchestration for dramatic range, and production approaches that sit well under dialogue and sound effects. Because it must synchronize to picture, soundtrack often uses clear dramatic arcs, tempo maps, and hit points.

White noise (as a listening genre) consists of broadband, non-periodic sound with equal energy per frequency, presented as long-form recordings or streams for masking, sleep, focus, and relaxation. While the signal-processing concept dates to early 20th‑century acoustics and radio, the musical/consumer genre emerged with dedicated LPs and tape releases that marketed neutral, steady noise as a functional audio environment. In modern platforms it spans continuous single-tone textures (true white), filtered variants (pink, brown, blue), and blended layers (HVAC hum, fan, airliner cabin), typically delivered as hours-long tracks without discernable musical form. Listeners use it to mask environmental sound, aid sleep hygiene, increase concentration, or create an anonymous, calming sonic bed that doesn’t demand attention.
