I'm pushing beyond my limits by taking on the super challenge. I explored how to create a piece that works seamlessly both forward and backward, not only in terms of notes but also textures and timbre. My process started by selecting sounds that could easily be flipped and still function normally in reverse. I used synths with identical attack and release times, ensuring that they would perform consistently whether played forwards or backwards.

Additionally, I recorded some sounds, reversed them, and blended them with the originals to create unique textures that work in either direction. For the composition itself, I opted for an intensity pyramid, building up and then coming down, which felt like a natural way to unify the forward and backward elements and keep everything cohesive.

This piece has a slightly experimental feel since the entire project was a huge experiment for me. It was a tougher challenge than expected, but I learned many new techniques I hadn’t considered or thought of.

Hi, all! All three of these tracks are reversible and sound exactly the same played in reverse (Challenge C).

I played a lot of Frostpunk last month, so I initially had the big storms and survival in the cold in mind. The reverse effects and sounds naturally reminded me of time running backward. I can totally imagine an epic strategy survival game where time manipulation is the core theme. In the game, I would use both halves of each track according to the gameplay. When time is running in reverse, the music would do so too.

Time Paradox: Main theme, used in the most challenging moments.

​The Journey: Beginning of the game and maybe an idle state.

​Don’t Look Back: Main menu theme.

Thanks to Sandbox for this really cool challenge. Palindrome music was a new concept for me, and I had a ton of fun experimenting with it. Also, thanks to my brother, Anton. He created this awesome cover art and provided me with some feedback for this soundtrack.

This track is a "palindrome", which means it sounds completely same when played reversed.

Also - null test pass - when "normal" version is played simultaneously with it's reversed at the same volume - the result is silence
