There is a single technical term to describe music in a movie which is not part of a separate soundtrack, but which is generated by actions in the film. For example, a radio is turned on or a recording is played. "something"-genic music perhaps? I've forgotten it, and I would love to recover it.

    @JasonBassford The OP is talking about scenes such as in...like Harry Potter 7 part 1 where he and Hermione are dancing to music from the radio. There is a term, but I just cannot think of it right now.

  • @Cascabel I still think it's correct to call that background music. It's music that's part of the scene itself. (But your answer specifically matches the looked-for word form.)

  • @JasonBassford Yeah...but from what I remember (like 35 ears ago) we used to record ambient sound or source music with only 2 mics relative to the subject on 2 tracks, and then mixed with the background music on 24 track. But I only did the animatronics, which I sourced for the AI from the dialogue.

Source Music, a form of Diegesis




Diegetic music or Source Music is music in a drama (e.g., film or video game) that is part of the fictional setting and so, presumably, is heard by the characters.



1 The term refers to diegesis, a style of storytelling.




-Wikipedia



In films, it is often heard as part of a dance sequence, or possibly from a car radio on-the-road setting, or home sound system when the characters choose music to set an ambience or illustrate their own personal style. Recently it appears in the form of the "lone runner in the street listening to earbud " music as a popular meme or trope, when the the director or writer are struggling to find a good way to introduce another action figure.




Source Music means musical works (and accompanying literary works) and sound recordings not specifically composed or created for use in the Film and incorporated into the soundtrack of the Film;




--Definition of Source Music, Law insider



People working in the industry, however, usually used Source Music when I was doing that kind of thing. Diegesis is one of those words that academics use.
