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 :)
Silent Movie 61
01.01.2024
A playful, slightly quirky piano piece, evoking the charm of early 20th-century silent films. Its jaunty melody and lighthearted arrangement create a nostalgic, whimsical atmosphere, suitable for comedic scenes, light-hearted storytelling, and vintage-themed content.

Arti’s Hit or Miss: Review
"Silent Movie 61" immediately transports the listener to a bygone era of silent film. The piano performance is quite spirited, showcasing a pleasant, if somewhat straightforward, ragtime-inspired melody. The staccato phrasing gives it a playful energy, very reminiscent of classic silent film scores.
One of its real strengths is how well it captures that specific aesthetic. You can almost visualize black-and-white title cards and exaggerated character expressions. The composition is simple, but effective in conjuring that intended mood.
From a production standpoint, the recording is clean and clear, though perhaps a touch *too* clean for the intended style. A bit of subtle room ambience, or even a hint of that 'aged' sound, could really enhance the vintage feel. Think of the difference between a perfectly restored antique and one with a beautiful, natural patina. The latter often holds more charm, telling the story of its time.
The piece could also possibly benefit from a bit more dynamic contrast. While the playing is expressive, expanding the range between the quietest and loudest moments would create more dramatic interest. This would improve the versatility, making it useful in scenes.
Compared to high-end library music, "Silent Movie 61" is well-executed but in a very niche area. It does one thing – evoke a silent film's accompaniment – quite well. Expanding its dynamic range and possibly adding a version with very subtle orchestration (a touch of muted brass or woodwinds) could broaden its appeal for historical documentaries or period pieces.
Overall, it's a charming and well-crafted piece that achieves its primary goal admirably. With a few production tweaks, it would be a good addition to any library's vintage/silent film section.
