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
The track, "Silent Movie 18," immediately transports the listener to a bygone era. It's a charming and effective homage to the piano scores of early cinema. The composition is straightforward, with a clear, memorable melody that carries a distinct sense of playful innocence. The arrangement is sparse, primarily featuring the piano, which works perfectly to capture that authentic, vintage sound.
One of the piece's strengths lies in its authenticity. It truly sounds like it could have been lifted from a silent film. The rhythmic piano playing, with its slight hesitations and playful flourishes, feels genuinely evocative of the era. While the simplicity is an asset, adding a touch of subtle, period-appropriate percussion (brushes on a snare, perhaps, or a very light cymbal) could enhance the track's rhythmic drive without sacrificing its core character. It's a fine line, of course, as too much would take away from its solo piano nature.
The production is clean and allows the piano's character to shine. Perhaps a touch of very subtle room ambience could enhance the 'live' feel, but it doesn't sound overly sterile, either. The mix places the piano front and center, which is precisely where it should be. Emotionally, it ticks all the boxes for lighthearted comedy, nostalgia, and a touch of gentle drama.
In terms of its utility for media, it's practically tailor-made for any project that needs a touch of old-world charm. Think historical documentaries, comedic shorts, or even quirky advertisements. While it might not suit contemporary settings, it's incredibly focused in its niche. To broaden its appeal, subtle variations (a slightly slower, more melancholic version, for instance) might be worth considering. Compared to professional library tracks, this piece sits comfortably in the mid-tier. It doesn't reinvent the wheel, but it executes its concept with skill and a clear understanding of the genre. It's an enjoyable and very usable piece that with some slight, simple enhancements, could be even better.
