Asyndeton

The removal from the perception or memory of one or many sound elements in an audible whole. Surveys studying everyday sound behaviour show that the amount of "forgotten" or unheard sound is extremely prominent. The asyndeton effect allows the valorization of a portion of the sound environment through the evacuation of useless elements from our consciousness. Asyndeton, through its rhetorical origin, refers more to the generic notion of forgetting, whereas erasure is used specifically in reference to practice.
