i've been playing with it nonstop. i rediscovered a trick my brother taught me when i was a kid: yourecord yourself saying a short, simple phrase, reverse it, record yourself saying the backwards version phonetically, and then reverse the backwards one. the goal is to get it to sound as much like the original phrase as possible (i'm bad at explaining things.)

so anyway, i've been playing with this thing a whole lot today, and i've run out of phrases to use. i had this idea that maybe you guys could think of stuff for me to say, and then i could play around with it, and post the result here. does this make any sense at all? i'm tired.
 
i sound wasted. 😀

An open letter to emilyemilyemily:

Dear emilyemilyemily,

I love you.

Sincerely,

PS If you can learn how to sing (or even just say) the entire lyrics to Bonnie Tyler's "Total Eclipse of the Heart," backwards, then I will send you a box of cookies. Ask anyone on this forum who knows me if I am serious.

I am.​

Okay, for kicks: "The Owls are not what they seem" :wiseowl:

Since the Beatles pioneered the use of this technique in pop music, I think you should try the phrase "I am the walrus" 🙂

I love Audacity. It's a great tool for audio and it's free.

From Wikipedia;

The song is built over the reversed backing track of an electronic version of the then unreleased "I Will" (which would later be released in a much different form on Hail to the Thief). According to Thom Yorke, in an interview with The Wire, "We'd turned the tape [of "I Will"] around, and I was in another room, heard the vocal melody coming backwards, and thought, 'That's miles better than the right way round', then spent the rest of the night trying to learn the melody."

Colin Greenwood said of the vocals, "In Copenhagen, I was listening to Woman's Hour. They were talking about this English composer, whose name I can't remember, who wrote a piece of music for a singer where all the phrasings were backward but she sung it forward. Thom sung the backwards melody. It was recorded forward then listened to backwards and he did the phrasing so as to create backward sounding words but it's sung forwards. It's kind of my favourite track."
