Compose a Musical Palindrome--you CAN do it !

You can easily create your own and unique musical palindrome. You don't have to be Mozart. Anybody can observe and make use of the symmetries and divine geometries in music. So get to it and simply:

Take a sheet of music manuscript paper and fold it into four. Then ink in a short melody in the top left-hand corner. Then smudge it onto the top right-hand side. Then smudge the two top images onto the two lower quarters of the paper. You will end up with a beautiful, symmetrical and geometric work of art--like a paper snowflake. It will also be a musical palindrome.

You could also do this by quickly reversing and inverting computer images in your computer paintbox, if you wish to make quick mirror images and upside-down images, that way. You get the general idea. It's all about a fun geometrical approach to music--maybe like Pythagoras, or something. Just like a perfect, unique and symmetric snowflake will your finished product be! It will have your own beautiful harmonies within it.

It's a fun and creative and useful composition idea--just as they once used to toss horsehoes nails on five lines drawn on the floor, in the old days; or, else, like they used to toss a dice to make "dice music" by using the random to stimulate creativity.

You are creative; and you can invent new and interesting compositions.

Here is a wonderful and imaginative example of using the random to create beautiful music:

Hope you don't mind but I'm going to start using the phrase "audio snowflake" whenever possible.

@AColonDashSix I don't mind.Chladni made patterns, in sand,with sound,a couple of centuries ago. So it's been known,for a very long time, that there is a geometry in sound that relates to the geometry shapes we can see with our eyes.I think the sound aum makes a pattern that is a well-known Hindu mandala. I think some synaesthetic musicians may well see shapes in relation to their musical works. There are patterns visible in maths tables, and musical scales, as well. Palindromes are symmetrical.

@AColonDashSix Check out the "Piano Theory in Color!" music app available free from Google Chrome. You'll find it gives a nice colourful pianola synaesthetic display. Very nice. Windows MediaPlayer also offers nice synaesthetic "visualisations" with colourful patterns to accompany the music.

Fantastic!

hi, i've not seen all of your videos yet, but do you play a particular instrument?

I can't read or write music, but I do enjoy composing my own, in my own style...

I guess when/if my memory goes, so does all my work...

thank you for your nice videos BTW

[zuditaka]

@HubSwitch Yes! Play around with the Sibelius software. It's great fun, and not rocket science.They have a full orchestra version, but also cheaper versions with a fewer number of instruments. Just play with it, like it's a toy, and you'll find that the music you create can be saved in written form. Actually, I now remember that, if you hook up an electric piano to their system, ANYthing you play can, then, be put into musical notation for you! It's all done by computers. So don't worry!Have FUN

Thank you very much Zuditaka .

:) And the video was educational Alinalamere.

@SCREECHINGJCWEASEL hahaha!

@HubSwitch Yes, I play recorder and piano. It's great that you compose your own music. We don't have 2B slaves to musical convention. And people have made music, for millennia, without the need for formal notation. No! You can record your music, and share your music with others. Putting it up on YouTube is a good idea. I suggest that you download the SIbelius scorewriting software, the trial version and have a play around with it, like it is a TOY.You can use it as a musical instrument in itself
