Aphex Twin song inversions

[Guest IRARI]

i kind of like this band the disco biscuits

they invert their songs as explained here

 

What is an inverted version of a song?

 

Consider that a basic Disco Biscuits song (Song A) has three parts: A beginning composed section, followed by a jam, followed by a composed ending section.

 

An inverted version of a song will almost always happen when they jam out of a different song (Song B), and segue the jam into the ending section of Song A. At the exact point of the ending of Song A, they immediately play the beginning of Song A, then the jam section, which usually segues into a different song (Song C), or the song that proceeded the inverted song (Song B).

 

Example:

 

Non-Inverted Version of a song:

Song A (Beg.) -> Jam ->Song A (End)

 

Inverted Version:

Song B -> Jam -> Song A (End) -> Song A (Beg.) -> Jam -> Song C

lately ive been reversing entire songs. ill write an awesome song, remove the beats, export to wav, then reverse that wav, then pitch it down an octave (not the gay old way of pitching where the time slowed down too), then add some reverb and stuff and put the beats back in. sounds pretty good

[Dan C]

Sounds like twelve-tone composition, just not as good.

The Disco Biscuits LIVE AUDIENCE recording 4/18/09

 

not really any inverted parts in this show but from track 9 on is MAJOR INCREDIBLE IMPROVISATION.

 

if you are unaware: this is a 4 piece live band that often plays dance music.... definitely intelligent too ;)

There are a lot of compositions that are written exactly the same forward and backwards. Sometimes sonically, as well. I can't think of any names off the top of my head, but I'm sure you could google it.
