I have programmed a new AI and am currently working on modernizing and restructuring genres, topics, moods and tags. BPM will be replaced by “perceived speed”. Keys will be removed. The keyword search will also soon be extended to tags. There will also be an A.I. “Review” and a quality rating for each song. All music will soon be re-categorized. When I'm done with that, there will be new music again :)

Arti’s Hit or Miss: Review
"Drama Intro 1 (Fish)" makes a strong first impression with its stark, almost unsettling string stabs. The immediate vibe is one of impending tension, a sort of sonic question mark hanging in the air. It definitely leans into that classic suspense-building territory, and it does so quite effectively in its short runtime.
From a compositional perspective, the track is fairly minimalist. It centers around a repetitive string motif, with subtle brass swells adding a layer of depth. The arrangement is effective in its simplicity – it doesn't overstay its welcome, which is key for an intro cue. There’s a nice build-up of intensity; however the melodic content itself could perhaps benefit from a touch more variation to avoid feeling *too* repetitive, even within its short timeframe. A subtle harmonic shift or countermelody could elevate it.
Production-wise, the track has a decent, clean sound. The strings have a somewhat synthetic quality, which, depending on the intended use, might be perfectly acceptable or might benefit from a more realistic, sampled orchestral library. The mix is well-balanced, giving each element its space, although the overall dynamic range could be pushed a little further to maximize that sense of impact, especially during the crescendo.
Emotionally, "Drama Intro 1 (Fish)" hits the mark for suspense and unease. It’s easy to picture this working well in a film trailer, a tense scene in a crime drama, or perhaps even as a background element in a video game to signal an approaching threat. It doesn't offer much in the way of emotional *range*, but that laser focus on tension is clearly its strength.
Comparing it to industry standards, the track sits comfortably in the realm of usable production music. It's not groundbreaking, but it fulfills a specific niche effectively. With a bit more refinement in the string sound and perhaps a touch more dynamic contrast, it could easily compete with higher-end library cues. It's the kind of track that, while not a centerpiece, serves an essential purpose in creating atmosphere. Overall a soild effort.
