Composed using entirely original samples created as part of my Letters and Memories Sample CD, along with textured pads created just for this Jam designed to create granular delays that repeat back notes in a sequencer like structure.


Each track was composed traditionally, the same way I've done ambient scores for music and film. Each track features multiple pads and SFX that repeat forwards than back in scale and octave through panning through the left and right channels through the use of multiple accessible plugins such as Pancake and RP-Pan.

On top of that, every sound and loop is original, created by myself for the purpose of music production and sampling. They've each been chopped and resampled in ways to create new sounds in a setting that fits the theme.

My goal here was to do what I normally do, which is break traditional composing norms and showcase the extreme and the weird that these Jams should rightfully showcase. A chance to open people's ears to the abnormal and ask them to taste from a different spoon.

Each track, by definition, is a Palindrome. Through creative feedback loopings this could be difficult for most listeners to tell at first, but using visualizers to seperate and visualize the frequences and waveforms it becomes super apparently that the use of Palindromes is in place.

My goal to create Palindromes in music was achieved through ambience and I'm happy with the results. I avoided using simple Reverse plugins or anything outside of a sequencer formula I developed myself to produce consistent feedback and contain the composition throughout each track.
