Yoo this is amazing. Although not 100% identical backward and forward (that's the actual C challenge haha), the song still sounded primarily good when reversed! It was dope how the click/kick, the chiptune synth, and the vox chop stayed the same. The melodic contents and rhythm still hold as well with the only thing getting wacky being the lead bell getting off-beat due to its decay.

Palindrome challenge aside, it's a very nice atmospheric track!

Glad you like it ! I wasn’t sure that we had to do it 100% identical but now its done so lets Hope they’ll be cool about it 😅

I like the syncopated feel of the chords and the atmosphere that increasingly develops towards the middle of the track, nice vocal chops as well, I like it!

This is a really fantastic work, don't feel it really fits the super challenge but it's excellent on it's own. Great job.

Developer

Thx for the comment, hope they will find it similar enough to consider it valid !

This is the kind of song that works best when you close your eyes.

I'm not sure if it works with the super challenge since I feel like the notes with long tails wouldn't sound the same reversed as the do normally. It still is very obviously a palindrome though don't get me wrong. I just think it is probably the hard challenge rather than the super challenge but I also didn't listen to it reversed so I could just be stupid.

I really liked the track it was super good and I especially like the chiptune parts.

Developer

Glad you like the track ! And for the super challenge, I'll hope they will allow something almost identical instead of just something that is exactly the same !

You definitely nailed the super challenge, Love the use of the voice, the whole time i was anticipating a deep house drop . Do you happen to listen to house music? 

Developer

Thx for comment ! And yeah, I use to listen to house sometimes even if its not my favorite electronic genre !
