An Audio Palindrome - disquiet0252 by Dave Dorgan

Disquiet Junto Project 0252: Sonic Palindrome
Make music that sounds the same backwards and forwards.

- I toyed around with a palindrome of time signatures, and a couple other approaches, but the "sounds the same backwards and forwards" brought me back to the more obvious approach. Record a piece of music and then reverse the recorded version and slap it on the end of the original.
- I created a four bar riff in 5/8. It's only heard for eight bars at the the end/beginning of the forward/backward versions.
- The riff was put on three other tracks with reverb from Logic's Space Designer with 100% wet and 0% dry with three presets. Those are the drone tones.
- The kit was pieced together to provide some more interesting tones in the backwards section.
- The forward and backwards sections overlap for four bars in the middle where I left in the tail of the forward part.
- I tried it out and the piece does sound the same backwards and forward;)
