Message from the artist
cover art by me. genre is kinda like if funk was sleepy. a little under 3 minutes long. made using fl studio and a dream. been playing a lot of webfishing lately so that's definitely had an influence on this piece. i initially tried to make this a very symmetrical song that could be played the same forwards and backwards, but towards the end i found it a lot more fun to just let loose. not sure if that makes it normal or hard difficulty but it was fun regardless. a lot of elements like the melody, the drum loop, and the flute are still all palindromes though
was imagining either a visual novel or a story-driven puzzle game for this one. my main concept for this piece was the cyclical nature of just living your life. themes of hope and struggle are what prominently inspired it. i took the theme of palindrome's backwards and forwards and sorta made it synonymous to past and future. as you grow up you find a lot of patterns that start to pop up in your life and i wanted to hone in on that feeling. even the title itself is a palindrome and references the ambiguous nature of how one can view life.
do not use my music without consulting me first please & thank you ^_^
Difficulty
Make something that has elements that can be listened to both backwards and forwards.

Palindromes on palindromes on palindromes
Nice :)
Nice submission, I feel like there could have been a little more varience in the dynamics but it's overall an enjoyable listen.
Great job.
Never odd or even is a really cool title! palindromes that are more than 2 words are super neat to see!
I think i liked the flute the best. it felt distant and real which I really like for a dream like piece since it feels just out of reach like a dream would be.
really nice submission!
Definitely has a vibe of a cozy visual novel, got this spot on. I really enjoyed it!
I liked that the second half wasn't the "wrong" part - the music righted itself in the second half!
