CIEIR Open Question: Does some music sound better in reverse?

Posted by CIEIRMusic - November 26th, 2021


Over the years, I've often noticed a strange pattern when it comes to music. That many often like to experiment with their favourite songs to see how it sounds backwards. We all heard the infamous Stairway To Heaven rumor, where satanic messages allegedly are hidden in the song if played backwards. However this isn't quite what I am talking about. Just recently I made and uploaded two songs as seen here:



With the sole purpose of putting what I am about to talk about into play.


Whether it's Rock and Roll, Electronica or many of the other styles of music, some songs just sound strangely good backwards as they do forwards. Many have caught on to this effect and often even programmed certain instruments in Synths to recreate it. Whether it's the reverse cymbal of a drum or the illusion that whatever instrument playing, be it digital or analog, is breathing in instead of blowing out. There have been many reasons why playing music backwards seems to sound just as good, if not better than playing it forwards.


What do you all think?


Also to any fellow musicians, I suggest you try this out too. Whether it's an existing song in your library or a brand new song to make.

The backround samples in hiphop are often reversed, expecially the piano

Ya. I noticed a lot of hip hop songs do that.
