Came across this old recording of a club performance ('96 or 97 I think). Good ol song, thought I'd try recomposing it backwards. Check out the rough beginnings...just added bass n drums at this point. Will add vocals, Pad, and Guitar. I called it backstabber edit because at one point you can clearly hear the singer (not me) say Back Stabber, least I can

Sorry, couldn't resist.
I liked it, but the vocals are drowned and the pad sounds really cheap.
The backwards drums are a little groovy with the reverse tails.
Is that guitar? Sounds cool.
Work with it some more! Do some slicing!

Thanks for the comment.
Fighting for length? What does that mean?
Ya - the original recording wasn't the best quality (off an old cassete tape) and I had to EQ a bit to subdue the harsh backward snare, which probably cut some nice frequencies other instruments were occupying. The vocals and all are just a scratchpad placeholder anyway, to be replaced with real vocals, new pad sound, and guitar.

Still don't know what the "fighting for length" comment means?.....oh well 
Not really after critiques, per se, as much as sharing and discussing a cool composition tool. This trick has some appeal since I'm often prone to recommit the same musical phrasings. Hearing my stuff backwards forces me to think in different rythyms and melodic phrasings. It also comes up with some weird ass lyrics that, when copied as per vocal performance, somewhat repeats the original lyrics when reversed again - I think that's cool as hell!
I recently did this before on another song which turned out well (IMO). If you reverse this version, it sounds suprisingly like the original, lyrics and all.
Maybe you think me 
, but lostsa fun!
I'll repost an update once I get further along on it.

no one is going to tell you about the length. You will just have to pick up on it as you post more at KVR.1-2-Many wrote:Still don't know what the "fighting for length" comment means?.....oh well

I've used backward music for new compositions. I remixed robert miles' "Children" trance tune, and I just recorded the beginning reversed it. The beginning of that track backwards is fuckin' badass.

meh i would but i did it like 3 years ago with fruityloops 2 and it's quite embarrasing. I'll do it again sometime.
