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
"Silent Movie 78" captures the essence of early 20th-century piano music with a charming, almost playful simplicity. The recording has an authentic, slightly raw quality, which actually enhances its vintage vibe. It's not overly polished, and that works in its favor, lending a sense of intimacy and immediacy. The piano tone is warm and present, making you feel as though you're in the room with the performer.
From a compositional standpoint, the melody is straightforward and memorable, reminiscent of ragtime and early jazz. The arrangement is sparse, focusing solely on the piano, but it carries enough character to stand on its own. There are moments of subtle dynamic variation, adding a touch of expressiveness without overdoing it.
Where the track could see some improvement is in expanding its dynamic range. The mix is acceptable, but the low-end of a track is lost, and could use a minor enhancement. It is not a big deal, because we can perceive the low end, but it is not really there in the recording. While the 'rawness' is part of its charm, a touch more presence in the low-mids might give it a fuller sound, especially when considering placement in media that might require a slightly more impactful delivery.
Emotionally, the piece walks a fine line between lightheartedness and melancholy. It's evocative of simpler times, conjuring images of silent film comedies or perhaps a nostalgic scene in a period drama. This dual emotional quality makes it surprisingly versatile. It could work equally well in a humorous context, an animation or cartoon, or to underscore a moment of bittersweet reflection. I would advise this track, particularly for historical content and vintage scenarios.
Compared to top-tier production music in the vintage/historical genre, "Silent Movie 78" holds its own in terms of authenticity and emotional impact. It’s not trying to be a modern, slickly-produced track, and that’s its strength. However, as mentioned before, a small enhancement of the mix and mastering could maximize the impact on all speaker types, without losing its old-timey essence.
