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 :)
Cityscape Dreams
15.11.2023
This track fuses a driving drum & bass rhythm with atmospheric synth pads, creating a vibrant yet slightly melancholic urban soundscape. Perfect for scenes depicting city life, technological advancements, or dramatic reveals.

Arti’s Hit or Miss: Review
"Cityscape Dreams" opens with a compelling, slightly understated drum & bass groove that immediately grabs your attention. The introductory beat is crisp and well-defined, laying a solid foundation. The subtle, airy synth pads that enter soon after create a nice contrast, adding an atmospheric quality without being overly dominant. There is a nice urban feel to the whole thing.
What's particularly effective is the way the track builds tension. The introduction of the bassline is well-timed, and it adds a sense of urgency. Compositionally, it's quite clever – there’s a main melodic motif carried by the synths, which isn’t overly complex but is effective in creating a sense of movement and purpose. The harmonic structure is fairly simple, but this works in the track's favor, making it versatile for different visual scenarios. The arrangement cleverly keeps the listener engaged by gradually layering elements, ensuring the track never feels static.
The production quality is generally good, with clear separation between the rhythmic elements and the atmospheric pads. The mixing allows each element to breathe, although at times, the sub-bass could benefit from a bit more presence to really ground the track. The mastering sounds loud enough, matching current production music levels.
Emotionally, "Cityscape Dreams" evokes a sense of nocturnal urban exploration, with hints of both excitement and introspection. It would work really well in scenes depicting city life at night, technological showcases, or even moments of dramatic tension in a film or video game. This versatility is a strong point. The track’s potential applications are wide-ranging.
Compared to top-tier library tracks, "Cityscape Dreams" holds its own, especially in terms of its rhythmic drive and atmospheric elements. The track could be pushed further with a few more subtle variations in the synth melodies or some additional ear candy to maintain interest throughout its duration. A slightly more impactful mastering job, particularly focusing on enhancing the low end, could elevate it further. It is a solid, usable piece with potential for refinement. Overall, it's a well-produced track with a clear vision and good execution.
