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
This instrumental track, "Africa", instantly grabs you with its vibrant and optimistic energy. The intro is very gentle, using warm pads, but it quickly establishes a solid rhythmic foundation with its layers of world percussion. It’s the kind of groove that makes you want to move. The interplay between the various percussive elements like the marimba/kalimba-like sounds is especially effective, creating a sense of both complexity and effortless flow.
The arrangement is dynamic, with a gradual build-up that keeps the listener engaged. I like that we also have electronic elements, such as pads and synths. The melodic elements, though subtle, are well-placed and add a touch of emotional depth. In this sense, the track balances its upbeat energy with moments of reflection. The sound itself is great, rich, spacious. However, the mix could benefit from a slightly more polished approach to the reverb and EQ, the song can be muddy at some places. Specifically, a little more attention to the low-mid frequencies could prevent certain instruments from masking each other at times.
Emotionally, this track evokes a feeling of warmth and joy. It’s easy to imagine it working wonderfully in travel documentaries, advertising campaigns promoting a sense of adventure, or even as background music for corporate presentations aiming for an inspiring and uplifting vibe. It's very versatile. Compared to industry-standard production music, "Africa (instrumental)" is a well-crafted track that showcases a strong understanding of composition and arrangement. I would place it at a solid 78/100, primarily due to the mixing refinement opportunities that could elevate its sonic clarity and impact to a truly professional level.
