The bass guitar and percussion you used pairs really nicely with the synth pads. It's a chill vibe backwards and forwards, nice work!

Message from the artist
This is my second composer jam and I am thrilled for this opportunity.
For this jams theme I was inspired by some older pictures I've took at a sunset near the salt lake in Larnaca (Zyprese). I kind of was inspired by some old school RPG.
Difficulty
B (Hard)
Make a piece that has the same musical notes both forwards and backwards but doesn’t have to be an identical recording.

Apart from exactly one moment (pointed that on soundcloud) in a reversed track, really great work. Very vibey and liquid. Reversed version sound cohesive and intentional too.

InconsequentialI love this. I can hear the ripples slowly gliding on the glass of the glass water. Amazing atmosphere. Awesome job!

Space RailAwesome tracks, loved the vibes of it (in both versions) !
The instruments are really well arranged, especially the clarinet which gives it a great atmosphere.
It reminds me of the soundtrack from Ecco : Defender Of The Future (on tracks like Passage From Genesis or Pathways From Nowhere) with the plucked strings, the synths and the general vibe.
The sampled bass sounds also are pretty good, could easily recognize the Stingray sound (Sire made the Z3 model recently by the way, an affordable take on the Stingray that seems pretty nice if you're looking for this kind of sound).
Congrats for your tracks !

Imperfect ReflectionSpelling error in the title argument invalid!
Jokes aside, The instruments were all beautiful! I especially loved then the unique percussion came in after about a minute which gave the track a whole new life!
The bass guitar reminded me of the soundtrack from Arzette the Jewel of Faramore.
A great entry!

Choose Your Own Music AdventureThe vibes are immaculate. Den minder mig meget om en sang, man hører i den afsluttende emotional cutscene. Very well done!

Reifier - OST Jam PalindromeAmazing work incorporating different sections and transitions while still adhering to the prompt. Have yet to see many pull this off the way you did. Exemplary execution on the "Rule of three", and pictures are serene but become almost melancholic when paired with the audio. Curious to know if you are a flute player or flutist/flautist. could see this music being an ost from a minimalist art style puzzle game like Monument Valley. The different sections could reflect and be triggered by changes in the same level.
But sorry for the lengthy response , all in all good work.

perhaps, in another lifeWhat a wonderful listen!
Hard to tell anything more than that, but I must say that bass sound and line is pure gold here. I love it.
Great work!

Fever ChaseHey! Amazing job! I really liked how you developed the track little by little and I really enjoied when the bass kicked in. It also sounded really nice in reverse! Oh and I almost forgot, AMAZING PHOTO (it's really beautiful) and I think the track fits perfectly for it =)
Great Job!

The Truth OST - Palindrome JamGreat job! Really liked the mood of the piece and reversed sounds adds to it even more.

Long NightI like it, a lot of interesting variety. The reversed sounds also adds to the unique sound. Listening to the reversed version is an ethereal experience!

TattarrattatThis reminds me of Northern Face Shrine from the Links Awakening remake on Switch (one of my favorite tracks). Very impressive composition. I can imagine this track in an RPG in a forest containing a lake, maybe an environment with some rain. The reversed version flows really well too! Great work.

Reverse AwakenI really like the percussion that comes in around 1:07. Great vibes throughout, and groovy baseline
