My understanding is it sort of relates to a simulated acoustical physical space the music is intended to seem as if it is reverberating throughout
Is it correlated with the intimacy or closeness of the music, what else does it evoke? What is its relationship with artificiality and nature respectively?
What is its evolutionary purpose in terms of why we can parse and interpret it?
Isn’t that usually paired with swelling volume and that bandstop type EQ curve? Like reverse parametric curve that emphasizes the outer frequencies
