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
Okay, let's dive into this track. Immediately, it strikes you with that unmistakable old-timey piano vibe—very reminiscent of the silent film era, as the title suggests. There's a definite charm and energy, bouncing between its chords with a playful, almost mischievous quality. It instantly transports you to that specific time, and it does that successfully.
From a compositional angle, it's pretty straightforward, following a classic ragtime-esque structure. The melody is catchy and memorable, and it's well-supported by the left-hand accompaniment. It's easy to imagine this alongside a black-and-white slapstick scene. The structure is predictable, there aren't a lot of surprises, but for this style, that works and the consistency is valuable.
Now, from a production point of view, it sits in a curious spot. It's not aiming for the crisp, polished sound of a modern recording, which is understandable, that, is a creative choice, but it could benefit from some subtle enhancements, a bit of work on EQ. A touch of gentle compression might give it a little more punch without sacrificing its inherent dynamic range. We don't want a loudness war, but we want it to sit comfortably and, most importantly, clearly, in a busy mix.
Emotionally, it's resolutely cheerful. It’s hard to imagine this working for a dramatic or suspenseful scene. It’s firmly in the lighthearted, comedic territory, but, Within that realm, it is effective.
Compared to some high-end production music libraries, you may say that it lacks a bit of sonic finesse. However, it's a very usable, characteristic cue that would add authenticity to a suitable project. With some refinements in the mix and mastering, I can easily see it in historical documentaries, old-fashioned commercials, or even vintage-themed games. For what it wants to be, it delivers.
