Message from the artist
Hi, I was inspired a little by Bach and at the same time by my desire to get away from the conventions a bit, I hope you enjoy it.

The lines are not played backard again because both the original and its backward version are being played at the same time on different lines, the melody is a counterpoint of itself

Difficulty

C (Super Challenge)

Make something that has elements that can be listened to both backwards and forwards.

I've got to apiriciate the orhcestral music in such a short time span. I think the mixing could us a bit more polish . Also i dont tink it fits C, but overal Greath jobb!

I like your Orchestration. It's Not overwhelming and I can follow what's going on. It was a very in-your-face piece, and I can hear the Bach inspiration. It's a great track, nicely done.

There was a part at 50 seconds in that got really quiet for some reason?

I thought this track was nice though I don't believe it fits the criteria for Challenge C because with the echo of the instruments it would certainly sound different reversed.

It's still a palindrome it's just that I think its probably more of a challenge challenge B entry. I won't dock pints or anything just pointing it out.

I speak Spanish and I didn't really understand the difference between B and C, anyway I considered that C was a palindrome in itself, like what I did, I chose different timbres for both voices for a matter of hearing comfort to all those who go through the works, so they can differentiate the lines well, in reality they have the same timbre in the score. About the echo I don't understand well, a palindrome doesn't necessarily have to be inverted with a program or DAW, it is simply played by the instrumentalists from back to front

About the 50s thing, it's a mix error that I tried to fix but I couldn't :( I think it was because I used a bad plugin, I'm just learning to mix this year and there are certain things that I can't fix yet

Fairly nice orchestral track, I wish it had a little more dynamics to it but it's great as it stands.

You are clearly a skilled composer!
I docked some points from 'impression' because I couldn't envision this as a game soundtrack per se, but having said that it could work great with the right game.

Thank you very much for your comment, I really appreciate it! Yes, I think you're right, I didn't think of it for any particular game but rather as a composition in itself, thank you very much for the constructive criticism, I'll take it more into account in future projects.

Very bold choice using a 7/8 time signature. That decision definitely paid off! The melody works really well when mirrored - almost couldn't tell it was a palindrome. Great Work!
