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
"Halloween Atmosphere 2024" immediately plunges the listener into a world of sonic unease. The track excels at creating a genuinely unsettling atmosphere, primarily through its effective use of processed vocalizations and a menagerie of disturbing sound effects. It's the kind of soundscape that instantly conjures images of haunted houses, dark forests, or perhaps a chilling video game sequence.
The composition is more about texture and mood than traditional melody, which is perfectly appropriate for this style. The arrangement expertly builds tension, layering the various elements—whispers, howls, distant screams, and what sounds like heavily manipulated animal noises—to create a growing sense of dread. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the listener to fully absorb the unsettling sonic details. There are moments of relative quiet that are punctuated by jarring impacts and risers, keeping you on edge.
From a production perspective, the sound design is clearly the track's strongest asset. The various elements, while unconventional, are well-crafted and evoke a strong sense of realism (or, perhaps more accurately, *surrealism*). The mix is intentionally chaotic at times, mirroring the feeling of disorientation and fear. However, some of the louder, more abrasive elements could potentially benefit from a touch more dynamic control to prevent them from becoming overwhelming, particularly if the track is used at higher volumes or in conjunction with dialogue. While the overall 'lo-fi' aesthetic suits the subject, a slightly cleaner high-frequency range on certain sections could offer a bit more sonic detail, adding some clarity to the chaos. The lower mid-range is rich and powerfull. The low end provides a solid foundation, although a touch more sub-bass presence could further enhance the feeling of impending doom.
Emotionally, "Halloween Atmosphere 2024" is highly effective. It's not a track you'd listen to for pleasure, but that's not its purpose. It aims to create discomfort and anxiety, and it succeeds admirably. In terms of media suitability, it's a natural fit for horror films, thrillers, dark fantasy games, or any project needing to establish a sense of unease. A shorter, more focused edit could also be very useful for trailers or promotional spots. The versatility would be further expanded by delivering stems that are more clearly separated (vocals, FX, percussions...). For a library music producer, making sure that the track is easy to be edited and cut is important.
Compared to industry-standard horror soundscapes, this track holds its own in terms of creativity and emotional impact. While the production could benefit from some minor refinements as I mentioned above, the overall effect is compelling and genuinely unnerving.
This is a strong piece of sound design that effectively fulfills its intended purpose.
