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
"Cinematic Desert 1" – now *there's* a title that doesn't leave much to the imagination, does it? It's like naming a pop song "Catchy Tune with a Beat." But, hey, sometimes straightforward works. Let's dive in and see if this track lives up to its, uh, *descriptive* moniker.
From the get-go, that duduk hits you. It's like the musical equivalent of a lone tumbleweed rolling across a sun-baked plain. If you're not familiar, the duduk is an Armenian double-reed woodwind instrument, and it's got this haunting, almost mournful quality that just *screams* "wide-open spaces and centuries of history." Very "Lawrence of Arabia," if you catch my drift.
The production is decent, no question. The duduk is front and center, as it should be, with plenty of reverb to give it that spacious feel. It is not the best duduk I ever heard, It's not a bad performance, but it sounds a little 'midi', specially in the high registry. It does not have the breathy and 'airy' touch of the real instrument. I'm being picky, I know, but it is part of my job! There's a subtle drone underneath, which adds to the atmosphere without being distracting. It's well-mixed, and everything's clean – no muddiness or harsh frequencies jumping out. Could it be used in professional project? Absolutely.
Emotionally, this track nails the "desert mystery" vibe. It's not exactly a toe-tapper, but it's not meant to be. It's more about creating a mood, and it does that effectively. It's the kind of track you'd hear in a documentary about ancient ruins or a film scene where the protagonist is wandering lost in the desert, contemplating their life choices (maybe they shouldn't have had that last tequila shot?).
Usability-wise, this is a goldmine for certain types of projects. Think documentaries, travel shows, historical dramas, video games set in desert environments, and that's not all. You could find it in a very specific ad, and why not? I can picture a high-end fragrance commercial with sweeping desert landscapes and a mysterious, alluring figure. The track's lack of a strong beat makes it incredibly versatile for voiceovers, too. A presenter will be thankful.
So, is it industry-leading, reference-quality? Not *quite*. It's a tad too niche for that. But is it a solid, professional track that fulfills its purpose admirably? Absolutely. It's a one-trick pony, perhaps, but it does that one trick very well. If you need a "cinematic desert" sound, well, you've found it.
