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 :)

"Oktoberwalzer" delivers a genuinely charming and authentic-sounding waltz experience. Right from the start, the accordion melody captures that classic European ballroom feel, immediately transporting the listener. The composition itself is well-structured, with a familiar and comforting waltz progression that works beautifully. The interplay between the accordion and strings creates a lovely, warm texture, and the subtle percussion adds just the right amount of rhythmic drive without being overbearing.
One area that could potentially be enhanced is the dynamic range. While the performance is nuanced, exploring greater contrast between quieter and louder sections could add even more emotional depth and impact. The mix is generally clear, but bringing the strings forward slightly during certain passages might add a touch more richness to the overall sound. Thinking about its usability for media, this piece lends itself perfectly to historical documentaries, romantic period pieces, or travelogues showcasing European culture. It might be a bit too specific for broad, modern advertising campaigns, but a slight arrangement tweak—perhaps a more contemporary intro—could open up more possibilities.
The track captures that beautiful, festive spirit. Production-wise, while very good, doesn't fully compare to something like the best orchestral libraries. Some reverb tails could use polishing. Overall, the track possesses a nostalgic charm and a genuine feel that is more valuable than sheer technical perfection. It's a 78/100. It's a well-crafted, very usable piece, that sits above average in the production music landscape.
