I think i may work on an entry, the challenge is very interesting!  Are the rules saying to record it backwards or forwards? Do we start at the bottom of a tracker and work our way up, recording the results forward, or do we compose the track with the outro at the top and reverse the recording? I was imagining some reverse drums and slow attack instruments to make it sound normal in reverse tongue

Depending on what medium I'm working in, I usually have a project file or two that I use to experiment with instrument sounds and patterns. I find that going to these and just creating some new sounds and instruments gets some ideas flowing. Also looking back at old experiments is inspiring. You also end up with a nice library of sounds you can go though for the skeleton of a new project.

Good advice on here.
