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 :)

A cinematic piece that begins with a gentle piano melody, gradually building with strings and subtle percussion. The track evokes a sense of hope and determination, perfect for documentaries, historical dramas, or moments of reflection.

Arti’s Hit or Miss: Review
"Mandela" opens with a beautifully understated piano motif, immediately creating a sense of calm, yet with an underlying current of anticipation. The introduction of the strings is masterfully done—they swell gently, adding depth and richness without ever overpowering the delicate piano. This is a track that understands the power of restraint.
From a compositional standpoint, it's a very well-structured piece. The melody is simple but memorable, and the harmonic progression is satisfying without being predictable. It avoids any jarring changes, allowing for a smooth, flowing listening experience. One small suggestion might be to introduce a *slightly* more distinct melodic variation in the latter half, just to provide a touch of contrast to the consistent build, but without disturbing the track's overall atmosphere.
Production-wise, the mix is clean and balanced. The piano has a lovely, warm tone, and the strings are lush without sounding muddy. There's a good sense of space in the mix, giving each element room to breathe. It's approaching professional quality. While it sits nicely in the mix now, a touch more dynamic range could give it even more impact, especially in the string sections, and lift it closer to an industry-reference level.
The emotional impact is one of the track's greatest strengths. It evokes a feeling of hope, resilience, and quiet determination. This makes it exceptionally well-suited for a range of media applications, from documentaries and historical dramas to corporate videos needing a touch of understated inspiration. It could even work well in certain types of advertising campaigns, particularly those with a focus on social responsibility or human connection. The track, in its current state, feels perfectly crafted for scenes of reflection, overcoming adversity, or quiet triumph.
Overall, "Mandela" has much to commend. It showcases a solid grasp of cinematic scoring principles, and it's a highly usable track. It is a strong piece that, with a few minor tweaks, could be elevated even further.
