The general tendency of people to consciously or subconsciously project their human relationships onto the conversations between instruments in a piece of music.
This concept and terminology have been developed by Trevor Baker, i.e; myself.

As the guitar solo soared in flight, Newman's mind developed a vision of a struggling warrior, dying but fighting daily to be heard, crying ever upward in the octave ranges, juxtaposed against both harmony and dissonance, to its ultimate conclusion: the breakthrough he could never reach.

When Newman disclosed his vision with his friends and colleagues, they came to the general consensus that they projected their own experiences onto music. The fact that conversations could exist between intervals and that the timbre of individual instruments characterized the dispositions of people, confirmed the paychological phenomenon known as Harmonic-Timbral Projection.
