I definitely did my best to re-use the synths throughout the OST, as I wanted to have some sort of cohesion. I'm glad you picked up on that!

If you think the decimal BPM is bad, definitely DON’T check out some of my earlier works where I loved doing BPMs like 123.456 just to be quirky. I’m glad all of the nuances you pointed out were realized. I did a lot of thinking to make sure the 8/4 was actually 8/4 and not just 4/4, and I’m happy it was noticed.
The idea only came about after making the second track. At that point, I had 4/4 and 5/4. I know I wanted to do something with the concept of the golden hour, as me and a friend took pictures at that time to get the album cover. The golden hour was at around 6:00, and my mind connected the dots.
The only one that was really “forced” was the 8:00 track, to be honest. The other time signatures I am comfortably familiar with.
Thanks! I think one of the main reasons it sounds natural to reverse is because of the piano in the second half making it so the song doesn’t just have a “normal part” and a “reverse part”. It’s like a secret instrument that gets “unlocked” when you go backwards.
I’m also glad you liked the cover art. It’s a picture of my face taken with weird settings on my Logitech camera, then I flipped the left side to make it symmetrical, or in this case, palindromic. I also added a lot of effects, too.
I’m glad you enjoyed it all!
For challenge level 'C', the audio file should play the same forwards as it does backwards, as if it was being held up against a mirror.
For A and B, it is a lot more lenient, only using palindromic elements instead of the entire song being a palindrome. For example, maybe you have a melody going A, C, D. To make it a palindrome, you'd have it go A, C, D, C, A or A, C, D, D, C, A. That way, they are the same forwards and backwards.
