Spanish term

trama sonora

Spanish to English Art/Literary Cinema, Film, TV, Drama
This is from a description of a film project (Argentine filmmaker)

Las voces y los ecos de otros momentos se harán presentes en Julia, con la intención de dar textura a esas evocaciones que se alzan como oasis ante su profundo dolor. El sonido será un elemento esencial que va a señalar ese leve corrimiento del espacio-tiempo real. Un ritmo acorde a la cadencia dramática de la historia valorará el silencio como un elemento más de una trama sonora que muchas veces estará en disonancia con la imagen.

It seems to be the film's sound, but is there a more appropriate, technical term? Thanks

Kristina Love Aug 9, 2021:
"Banda sonora" would be "soundtrack," but the word "trama" as well as the description given make it clear that this is music that evocatively mirrors and closely follows the plot of the movie. It's a film score.

Sound score

Voices and echoes of other moments will make themselves known in Julia, with the intention of giving texture to those evocations which flow upwards out of her like a geyser in the face of the deep pain she feels.
Sound will be an essential element that will signal this slight shift in the real space-time continuum. A rhythm in accordance with the dramatic cadence of the story will value silence as one more element of a sound score that will often be at odds/ loggerheads with the image.

Peer comment(s):

agree Kristina Love : Definitely agree with "score." I'd just say "film score" or "score" (in English "score" already contains the concept of sound)
