fadeouts
Endings by dimming
Fadeouts are gradual diminishments, especially the technique in film and audio where an image darkens to black or sound decreases to silence.
The term applies to any slow disappearance: The song ends with one of those interminable fadeouts.
Figuratively, a fadeout is a quiet withdrawal or decline: His fadeout from public life was almost unnoticed.
