Message from the artist
We decided to go a little loose with the constraint for our submission as this was our first composing jam but we did include some elements for the palindrome challenge. Certain sections in the tracks play reversed versions of prior melodies and notes. The last track tacks a reversed and modified version of the flute section from 'I'm Sure This Town is Relevant' as the leading guitar track.
We were originally going to make 5 tracks, with 5 reversed tracks to do a sort of 'a side / b side' thing but we realized that we'd bit off more than we could chew, so we instead focused on 5 tracks that each had their own elements, most of which having their own reversed sections.
We used a combination of FL Studio and Ableton Live to make the songs, and several of the instruments in the BBC Symphony Orchestra VST from Spitfire Audio. The album ended up following a marching theme, with inspiration from the wedding march. We also took inspiration from the 'Everything Everywhere All at Once' soundtrack, and the Clementine Suite from 'Telltale's The Walking Dead.' The result is an Orchestral Lite album with a couple other elements thrown in for good measure.
Difficulty
Make something that has elements that can be listened to both backwards and forwards.

I enjoyed this.
It reminds me of the Kingdom Rush soundtrack, I like it.
Really interesting theming to go with a war march style!
I think sometimes the songs were a little on the quiet side compared to others but these were cool!
Nice submission, really liked the medieval and marching band approach with the drums in most of the tracks (quite unique which is nice), so great job !
Loved the instruments used in this one! Great job! This was a very unique and interesting experience! I liked the guitar on the last one!
