Sonicanoxonacinos [Disquiet 0252]

I made a 2 min ‘melodic’ noise track out of mangled sonic scraps. I cloned it, reversed one and mixed them so they were exactly 3 mins long, then created the ‘chime’ track from a risset pulse generated in Audacity. This was given the same clone/flip/mix treatment so that it was as perfectly palindromic as possible, then also duplicated this with one rising one octave over three mins and one falling one octave.

Disquiet Junto Project 0252: Sonic Palindrome
Make music that sounds the same backwards and forwards.

Step 1: Consider the palindrome, which refers to a word (e.g., “madam”), phrase (“Never odd or even”), or sequence (“5290330925”) that reads the same backward and forward.

Step 2: Consider the ways in which a palindrome might have a parallel in music and sound.

Step 3: Compose a short piece of music that is informed by a concept that arose from Step 2.
