instrument-a-day 24: mobius music Posted on February 27, 2009 by ranjit It’s a familiar tune played upside-down and backwards, and then just backwards, and then upside-down and backwards again. Over and over, forever. It sounds like this. (Video here)
So brilliant! I absolutely dig the combination of a core idea of at home music making and a core idea of at home “neat math stuff” Reply ↓
I don’t recognize the tune, either backwards or upside-down and backwards. Anyone know what it is? Reply ↓
I think it’s Definitely the opening theme to “Cosmos.” I think it’s called Evangelis, or Vangelis? You tell because the repeating chords still sound the same. Reply ↓

Disregard my last comment. It’s definitely the “Happy birthday to You” song!
You got it, Robert!

I still think “happy birthday” sounds alot better upside down and backwards.
The tune sounds very nice. Love the endless design!
