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 :)

Mountains (instrumental)
18.06.2014
An evolving electronic track with a cinematic feel. It builds gradually with pulsing synths, a driving beat, and layered textures, creating an atmosphere of both tension and hopeful anticipation. Ideal for dramatic scenes, adventure sequences, or technology-focused content.

Arti’s Hit or Miss: Review
"Mountains (instrumental)" immediately establishes an intriguing atmosphere. The track has a captivating, almost hypnotic quality thanks to its core synth arpeggios. The way these melodic elements interact creates a sense of motion and forward momentum, which is a definite strength. The track unfolds progressively, layering new sonic textures, and it is clear that a creative mind is behind this. I particularly like the addition of percussions that are introduced at about one-third, enhancing the dramatic impact.
From a compositional perspective, the track stays engaging for sure. I see a great potential for underscore, for example. The interplay between the different synth parts is well-executed. It's not groundbreaking, but it's solid, effective, and offers an honest mood. A subtle variation in the harmonic progression might elevate it further, and perhaps adding a contrasting middle section.
Production-wise, there's clarity in the mix. Each element has its space. The use of sidechain compression is noticeable and adds to the rhythmic drive, and a wider stereo image is also a strong point. I appreciate the dynamic range – it's not overly compressed, allowing the track to breathe. However, while the individual sounds are well-chosen, the overall sonic palette could benefit from a touch more warmth or saturation to push it closer to industry-leading production music. To compare it to the best-in-class library tracks, a bit more 'analog character' could enhance its appeal.
The track evokes a sense of journey or exploration, fitting its title. It has a duality, balancing moments of tension with glimmers of hope, which is a characteristic of some very successful cinematic pieces. It's easy to imagine "Mountains (instrumental)" in a film trailer, a video game set in a vast landscape, or even a documentary exploring scientific discoveries. Minor adjustments, like introducing a subtle melodic motif carried by a different instrument (perhaps a processed piano or string sample), could significantly broaden its emotional range and usability.
In comparison to top-tier production music, "Mountains (instrumental)" is a very competent track, especially when considering its structure and the effective use of dynamics. It sits comfortably within the professional realm but still has room to grow before reaching the absolute pinnacle. Think of it as a solid foundation with the potential to become truly exceptional with some refinements. I'd give it a 78/100 – a good score with clear potential for even better things.
