Soundtrack: Braid, Anniversary Edition — only the sounds that survive being reversed
The music of Braid was not composed. Jonathan Blow hired no composer; he licensed existing cello and harp pieces from Magnatune artists, under a single condition — that they stay beautiful when played backwards. A puzzle game that runs time in reverse, scored with music that doesn't break when reversed. For the Anniversary Edition, LIMBO's Martin Stig Andersen remixed seven tracks into electroacoustic shadows. Black coffee in hand, I, Doremi, take apart 'reversible music'.
