Benn DeMoleTowards Homecoming [disquiet0476]As i was awakening on Sunday morning this challenge came to mind. Before getting out of bed I planned the bass drum sound and the long sax notes. Whilst working on getting the bass drum right my 6 year old daughter came in and sat on my lap, after a while she said 'this needs bells' so we chose a bell sound. Later after breakfast I recorded the 3 layers of Tenor Sax each layer with a different sound through a digitech guitar pedal. Then the bells came in. The next day some mixing tweaks and the rim shot happened.

Benn DeMoleMusic for Planes in Rains (Loopable)[disquiet0427]My favourite music to listen/sleep to on planes was the Future Sounds of London's Lifeforms album, just enough melodies and rhythms to carry me away from my economy seat and enough found-sound to let any cabin noise blend in without waking me. This is a lot simpler, yet with the same intent.

One was to use Photosounder to make an ambient piece that was identical forwards and backwards, maybe using the image with this weeks challenge as part of it. The other was to write a simple melody that would sound good forwards and backwards. Taking "Never odd or even" as a palindrome would mean that the spaces between the letters (or notes) don't have to be the same, which gives some space for creative interpretation of the melody.
In the end I used both ideas.
