Haze Machine
Haze Machine is the term I've used to describe both the process and a classification of a production technique used in film and songwriting. Reverb tails amplified by more echoes and spaces, along with reverse sounds tend to give a haze in some films in my scoring. For documentaries such as A New High and Cracked Up, I use this as a way to reference an earlier, messy period with a particular character or setting. In other words, we're picking up this character in medias res, which is a term for "in the middle of things", and my haze machine sound references prior messiness in this character.
