Message from the artist
I went for the C challenge and made a track that is perfectly identical when reversed. Each individual section is a palindrome as well. Had a lot of fun working on this!
Difficulty
C (Super Challenge)
Make something that has elements that can be listened to both backwards and forwards.

Very fun to listen to Kas! I loved it!! I also liked the choice of instrumentation, they work very well together. And how the palindrome is also heard in musical elements. So cool!
very good, the change to the inverted version was surprising but at the same time very natural and worked very well and I liked the choice of instruments too
Thank you!
Nicely syncope melodies that get quite groovy. Short but effective composition. But maybe a bit to showt, now I am aking for more of it! Well done!
Thank you! I would have made it longer if I had more time to work on it haha
Man, I really enjoy the instrumentation here. The palindrome effect was surprising but in a good way. It worked very well. That crystal piano sound is very nice to the ear. Good work!
Thank you!
I like the way the percussion sounds reversed, and kudos on the inner palindromes as well as the overall one! This one is really nice, I was getting GameCube era waiting room or cafe music if that makes any sense haha, the reversed version feels kind of like a parallel dimension
Thank you! I'm glad it gave that image because I go for that vibe in a lot of my music lol.
Surprise me a lot! Good sound :)
Thank you!
Palinception!
Having each phrase be a palindrome and the song as a whole gives it a lot more personality than if it was just the song but then reversed!
Very creative and well made!
Thank you!
The palindrome structure works smoothly, and the way each section mirrors itself keeps it engaging. Gg!
Thank you!
This is really good! I really like the tone of the instruments, they all fight nicely together. This track feels soothing to me. This was a nice listen!
Thank you!
I thought the hardest part of this challenge was creating a satisfying chord structure that worked forwards and backwards and you found a really good one! I'm also surprised that the bell synth sounds pretty good when reversed. Good job!
Yeah I definitely spent the most time working on the chords! Thank you!
Works great in reverse! interesting how it still gives chilled vibes backwards
Thank you!
Pretty nice submission, the instrumentation is great and the track flows quite well even with the reversing so nice job !
Thank you!
Really cool! I like how coherent it stays even through the reversed sections. it’s also really playful, like it actually sounds like you had fun making this haha. really nice to listen to :)
Thank you!
Fairly solid entry, I like how each prhase is seemingly it's own palindrome too.
Thank you!
You can really groove to this both ways! The electric piano sounds especially good when reversed.
Thank you!
Thats really impressive you were able to make it sound so good both ways! Both sound like they could be their own song.
Thank you!
Very nice track! I like the middle part transition to the reverse.
Thank you!
I really like how second part almost doesn't sound like it's reversed. Looks like a lot of effort was put into making it sound good both ways.
For a bit of constructive criticism - I feel like mix could use a bit of touch up. Seems like drums (especially ride) are bit too quiet compared to other things; but maybe that was required to make it so smooth both ways
Thank you, yeah thats honestly where most of my effort went lol. Yeah I was working with massive crunch only having 4 hours to work on this. Didn't get to work on the mix as much as I'd have liked. Thanks for the feedback!
