<p>I ran into an expression a couple of months ago to describe videos which involve audio that is very present, as a way to heighten the senses. An example of this can be found here:
<div class="youtube-embed"><div>
                <iframe width="640px" height="395px" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/hjhTbePvyXc?start=0"></iframe>
            </div></div></p>

<p>I'm looking for the name of that expression... It was something like high sensory experience or something similar but I've looked up a bunch of different names and couldn't find it. Would anyone know what I am talking about? It's often used in the context of filming people who are working with their hands and I know there are playlists of these types of videos around on YouTube.</p>
