Hi people!
I made this music on LogicProX for a 48-hour Sandbox online challenge to create a musical palindrome. I chose option C from the options listed below:

A. (Normal) - Make something that has elements that can be listened to both backwards and forwards.

B. (Hard) - Make a piece that has the same musical notes both forwards and backwards, but doesn't have to be an identical recording.

C. (Super challenge :) - Make a musical recording that is identical both forwards and backwards. 

Apart from a few changes made to the clarinet and vintage clav, the piece should be the same when played in reverse! It also contains various palindromes in the bass line, which is made up of different rhythms descending and ascending the initial chord progression.


I imagine this music accompanying a problem-solving game where the character is lost in a large city and has to solve puzzles to find their way home. The aesthetic of the game would have lots of symmetry to complement the palindrome theme, and I imagine it having an Escher-like quality to it.
The cover art is something I drew a little while ago and I thought it captured a similar style to the music and theme.

I had a lot of fun with this challenge and look forward to participating in more of them! The lack of sleep is worth the journey ;)

I hope you enjoy!
