Message from the artist
I'm very excited to work on a challenge idea by Disasterpeace. I'm a huge fan and had a blast working on this project.
Artist thoughts and notes are on the project page at: https://djaackofspades.itch.io/never-odd-or-even
Difficulty
B (Hard)
Make a piece that has the same musical notes both forwards and backwards but doesn’t have to be an identical recording.

This piece sounds like a Mandelbrot fractal... dont know how to explain it...
I really liked how the offbeat drum pattern contrasted with the soft piano, and overall, the composition felt quite unique (in a good way of course hehe). Anyway, great job!
Really nice! I liked the sweeping pads a lot and the occasional bells reminded me of a hat in time!
I'm not sure this fits challenge C however. Challenge C would mean that if I played this song in reverse it would sound exactly the same but I don't think the drums or the bells would work the same reversed. I know challenge C is mistakenly displaying challenge A right now but I wanted to point it out.
And don't worry I'm not docking points or anything since there is still very clearly palindromic elements.
The track is very good and I thought the percussion was very well done as well with how complex it felt!
Hey, thanks for the time and thoughtful comment! A hat in time has some big vibes, so that makes my heart happy to hear!
I think I had interpreted it as the same composition forward and backwards at the time, but what you're saying makes sense in hindsight.
Really strong submission, probably one of my favorites. Not much else to say other than it stands out even as a single track submission.
Great mixing of the various elements! Sounds like something I would hear in Starbound. Not sure if this is a good or bad thing but I wouldn't have picked up on it being palindromic if I didn't have the context, but I think that means you did a good job of working within the confines of the theme. Also, kudos to having the title be a palindrome - I thought there would be more of us!
