Amazing 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.

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.

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!

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
Submitted
Digital LoversI adore the bassline, was it recorded live? If yes, please teach me how to get that tone haha. Love the Percussion as well, really captured the old school RPG vibe.

Gaze of the DjinnSorry, but I didn't get the time to play the bass in by myself, although I really wanted to. But FYI it is a sampled DI Musicman Stingray. For processing I've used a LA2A simulation and a Pultec simulation to give it some depth and gritt. For general mixing you should tend more to the second order harmonics of your bass, like 200 - 300 Hz, since these frequenzies are more importand than the actual fundamental note. Reason is, that the fundamentals are to low and will be lost by most listening devices.
Super atmospheric and calming, Yasunori Mitsuda would be proud. It's great to see another Cubase user lol.
