A word for a sudden shift in a song's complexity

Question

Is there a noun associated with the part of a song where the instruments drop away very suddenly, with the purpose of creating suspense? To give you an example, I'm referring to moments like the one featuring from 1:19-1:23 in the Batman version of 'Something in the Way'. Here, many of the instruments suddenly stop playing, but you get the sense they're about to start up again. I considered 'diminuendo' but as far as I'm aware that implies a gradual softening, whereas the shift in the above example is actually rather abrupt.

'The [insert word] lasted only a few moments before the instruments rushed back in all at once.'

Thanks.

Answer 1

After heading over to music.stackexchange, I've been informed the answer to this question is 'break', which means when all or most of the instruments drop out, usually before a climactic moment. A 'rest' is when an individual instrument plays, is silent, then plays again.

Fermata (Wiktionary)

(music) The holding of a note or rest for longer than its usual duration; also the notation of such a prolongation, usually represented as a dot with a semi-circle above or below it, written above or below the prolonged note or rest.

Rest (Wiktionary)

(music, countable) A pause of a specified length in a piece of music.

Edit: There is a word [which may not be (or may be) relevant to music] and means 'abrupt silence in speech'.

Aposiopesis (Wiktionary) (rhetoric) An abrupt breaking-off in speech, often indicated in print using an ellipsis (…) or an em dash (—).
