Message from the artist
Hi everyone! This is OST Composing Jam Sandbox submission.
The jam prompt is "Palindrome", so let me explain first what I did with this tracks to make them fit the theme.
1. Intro Sequence has a piano arpeggios which can be played in same way forward and backward. Then goes melody on trombone which flips further, but I divided notes of it between brass instruments and flute to make this flipped melody sound less awkward.
2. Kankrizan theme is almost a palindrome theme. 9/4 arpeggios on low harp notes outlining chords starts to play backwards after measure 13. But choir changes to violin and this part of arrangement is not palindrome
3. Our Side and Other Side is absolutely same arrangement for 4 voices, but in Our Side there is a classic string quartet, and in Other Side all arrangement is flipped, slightly slowed and instruments changes to electronic sounds and guitar harmonics.
For information about this fictional game called "Vice Versa" please visit project page :)
Difficulty
Make a piece that has the same musical notes both forwards and backwards but doesn’t have to be an identical recording.

Very intriguing game idea.
Gorgeous music.
Really nice technique with the instrumental work here, goodjob.
Switching up the Instruments to avoid that awkward Inbetween is pretty clever. Really good work here.
So EPIC!
I really like this, definitely my taste.
I don't have much to criticize in your tracks
Very cinematic! The instrumentation is on point and has good variety. I liked what you did with the harp and synths!
Very nice tracks.
They felt like background music from movies which I think is impressive since I can't do that personally.
Sometimes it didn't really feel like a palindrome but that is also a good thing because it means that it was well integrated that I didn't notice it so good job!
Such a grand picture vibe! You've managed to fit the theme theme while also making it sound like it should belong in some cinema soundtrack. I really have to tip my hat.
