Suspensive music refers to cadences in music that create a sense of anticipation or delay before resolving to a stable chord. This type of music is used to build tension and drama in compositions, making the audience feel anxious about what will happen next. Common techniques in suspensive music include: - Raising the tempo to mimic a fast heartbeat. - Using crescendos to gradually increase the intensity and loudness of the music. - Employing strings and synthesizers for their ability to create dissonant and eerie sounds.
