Responder reaching-monoboxparade-the-lakesmorning-bustlecity-lightsanother-happy-dayAny comments on any of the options?:
Shawn Lawton Henry 1 4 4 3 3 reaching-monobox -- mellow. not upbeat. don't like for these videos.

parade-the-lakes -- nice. upbeat, cheery, active.

morning-bustle -- active, cheery.

city-lights -- alive. something is coming. something is happening. possibly too suspenseful? [coincidence or meant-to-be that title is same as BAD site?!? <https://www.w3.org/WAI/demos/bad/after/home.html> :-]

another-happy-day -- bouncy, active, happy, young. maybe too distracting? or good for the young persona?
Mark Palmer 4 1 3 3 3
Brent Bakken 2 4 1 2 5 Reaching Monobox: Too sleepy
Parade the Lakes: Good soft easy listening background
Morning Bustle: A little to fast and tense
City Lights: Too dramatic and therefor the wrong tone
Another Happy Day: Very lite and good tempo (not to upbeat to be distracting)
Michele Williams 1 2 3 4 5 "Another happy day" is my favorite (through process of elimination). It's a little feminine but I think will keep from sounding too somber or too much like inspiration porn.

"City lights" is my next favorite though it sounds like music I hear at contemporary church services.

"Morning bustle" sounds like ones I hear in commercials here in the U.S.; might sound familiar to others as well.

"Parade" sounds too happy and "Reaching" sounds too somber.

Daniel Montalvo 5 3 2 4 1 Another-happy-day it is really not that i don't like at all, it's that there is something that they are doing with the panning of the rodex keyboard that is very distracting. IF they could just use a more static panning I would be happy with it.
Jade Matos Carew 1 3 1 4 1 We just conducted a short piece of research on a choice of music with our usability research panel, I was really surprised by the number and variety of opinions which came back. Off the back of my recent experience with that, I think this music choice might warrant further discussion.
Reaching Monobox: Just no, music for a funeral.
Parade the Lakes: Quite positive, a good choice for the personas videos.
Morning Bustle: Too much going on in the melody for it to be background music.
City Lights: This will be good for the tools/abilities videos, it builds quite positively.
Another Happy Day: I think it's too staccato and that'll be distracting
Kevin White 2 3 4 3 5 Reaching Monobox - too sedentary
Parade the lakes - good up beat, bit ompha-ompha from :30
Morning bustle - nice and light
City lights - Good, start has a bit of an anticipatory build
Another happy day - good up beat, stero bounces I think
