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 :)
Stalker Heart of Chornobyl Atmosphere 21

Атмосферный и напряженный звуковой ландшафт, этот трек сочетает в себе зловещие дроны, тонкие пульсирующие ритмы и жуткие звуковые эффекты, создавая чувство беспокойства и напряжения, идеально подходящее для нагнетания атмосферы.

Arti’s Hit or Miss: Review
"Stalker Heart of Chornobyl Atmosphere 21" immediately envelops the listener in a chilling, desolate soundscape. The track excels at creating a sense of unease and foreboding, making it a natural fit for scenes of suspense, mystery, or post-apocalyptic settings in film and video games. The opening minutes effectively utilize a slowly building, almost imperceptible drone, setting the tonal stage for the unsettling journey to come. The introduction of subtle, rhythmic pulses around the 0:20 mark is a nice touch, adding a layer of subtle motion without disrupting the track's primarily static feel, and give the overall piece a mechanical, cold feeling.
One area that could be explored further is melodic development. While the track's primary function is clearly atmospheric, incorporating even a very sparse, fragmented melody or motif could increase emotional engagement. This wouldn't need to be a traditional melody; even a two-note recurring pattern, subtly processed and woven into the texture, could make it even better.
The sound design itself is very well-executed. The textures are rich and detailed. The mix is generally clean, although at times, and at loud volumes the low-end drone can become slightly overpowering, particularly if played back on systems with significant sub-bass response. A slight reduction in the very lowest frequencies, or perhaps some gentle sidechain compression triggered by the rhythmic elements, could enhance clarity. The sense of space and depth is palpable, although additional subtle movement in the stereo field—perhaps through careful panning of specific sound elements—could further enhance the immersion.
It fits the mold of professional, dark, and atmospheric production music. It does not need to be overly complex, but a bit more variation, or a very subtle shift in timbre would make it much stronger.
Overall, "Stalker Heart of Chornobyl Atmosphere 21" is a solid and evocative piece of production music. By embracing a bit more sonic variation and perhaps incorporating a subtle melodic element, it could become an even more useful asset in various media projects. I rate it very highly as a starting point, but there is room to grow.
