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 :)

Play A Little Game (DECISION)
12.05.2014
A mysterious and suspenseful cinematic track. It blends subtle electronic textures with an ominous piano melody, creating an atmosphere of tension and intrigue. Ideal for thrillers, dramatic underscores, or any scene requiring a sense of foreboding.

Arti’s Hit or Miss: Review
"Play A Little Game (DECISION)" opens with a beautifully unsettling soundscape. The initial piano motif is instantly captivating, establishing a sense of mystery and unease that holds your attention. There is a delicacy to the arrangement – an excellent starting point. The reversed elements and subtle pads create a spaciousness that’s perfect for building tension. There’s a “less is more” approach, where empty spaces contribute to the track's drama. It doesn't feel rushed, which lets the mood breathe.
However, to elevate it further, consider introducing more dynamic variation. The song stays within a relatively narrow dynamic range. Adding a section with increased intensity, perhaps through layering additional percussion or strings, would create a more powerful impact. Right now, it's very well-suited for scenes where you want to create suspense and prepare the viewer for a reveal. It’s almost like an aural question mark.
The mix is generally clean and clear, though the low-end could be a touch more defined. It’s not muddy, but a slightly tighter bass presence would add weight to the overall sound, especially for those moments of higher intensity I mentioned. Experimenting with subtle sidechaining could also enhance the rhythmic pulse without making it feel overly produced.
Emotionally, the track excels at creating a sense of anticipation and unease. It could be used very effectively in thrillers, crime dramas, or even sci-fi scenes with a mysterious undertone. It’s less about immediate action and more about the buildup to it.
Compared to top-tier production music, "Play A Little Game (DECISION)" shows real promise. It has a strong core concept and a distinctive atmosphere. With a few refinements to the dynamic range and low-end, it could easily compete in the professional library market. The composer clearly has a good ear for creating mood and atmosphere. I genuinely feel that this could be a good piece, but it could become a *great* one.
