These three tracks make up my submission to the OST Composing Jam [Sandbox] - Palindrome competition.

All tracks were developed from start to finish on iOS using my iPad using AUM.

The track names reflect the three levels of difficulty as set out in the competition rules.

﻿﻿﻿(Normal) - Make something that has elements that can be listened to both backwards and forwards. Track  - Simfonix - Palindrome A
﻿﻿﻿(Hard) - Make a piece that has the same musical notes both forwards and backwards, but doesn't have to be an identical recording. Track - Simfonix - Palindrome B
﻿﻿﻿(Super challenge :) - Make a musical recording that is identical both forwards and backwards. Track - Simfonix - Palindrome C
This was a great challenge and I hope you enjoy this music.


Simfonix - Palindrome A

Track for OST Sandbox game jam : https://itch.io/jam/ost-composing-jam-sandbox

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.

OST Sandbox

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.

(OST Composing Jam [Sandbox]) The Journey - JakovD

Made for https://itch.io/jam/ost-composing-jam-sandbox.
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

Made for itch.io/jam/ost-composing-jam-sandbox.

The challenge was to write a palindrome in 48 hours, which means the track sounds the same played in reverse.

I played and recorded tongue drum, electric bass, two snare drums, shakers, a metal water bottle, doors, my keychain, a wooden table and a curtain.
