That is assuming you have the right idea on what I want to do with my flipping! By what you have said I'm afraid you do not, although mirroring well known oieces of music is a side effect. Mirror music has been around for a lot of years and I have read one or two books on it.
I have a book on the subject of mirror music too and none of it is based on any information I have seen before. That is the reason that I am keen to build a program that deals with these new things. They include merging the scales with the Vedic square, which contains the same hidden structures that are evident on the "mirror" side of scales.
These structures are also plottable on the Tzolkin grid and can be run along with the Fibonacci numbers, and of course much has already been done with the Fibinacci numbers in a musical sense. However they have never been associated with a unique hidden mirror musical structure, which is what I am learning to base compositions on. I have also merged these structures with the alphabet and associated notes to letters that shows the alphabet also contains the same axis points leading to the same hidden structure.
My favorite christmas mirror has to be 'Twelve days of Christmas'! But 'Born to be wild' sounds so discordant.
Thanks Lui

Hi
Thank you Kurt and Erik for the useful insights. I won't give up trying to get my head around how to program, although I fear it will take me longer than my patience will allow. The shakabox (beat machine) idea is moving me closer to what I'd like to do. The main area that I will need to learn is how to map one midi note to another. Then to instruct the program to perform some other duties, like "take musical phrase around the intervals 1 3 #5", and "transpose circle of 5ths up by the ratio of a Comma (80:81)" . Basically I want a piece of software that allows me to compose my 'mirror' music ideas.
In 1997 a programmer did build me a basic mirroring program, called The Mirrormaker. It does the midi mapping. I am no longer in touch with the programmer and have no access to the code, and it was written for only windows anyway. If anyone is interested in hearing a few I have over a thousand midi files that I have mirrored with this software. To get the software to perform more scripts is what I would love to learn to do, but I have to start at the beginning again and find out about the mapping of notes.
Should I perhaps concentrate on the design of a program and find a programmer willing to write the code for such a design? Or perhaps someone can recommend me a cool book that is easy to understand (for dunces!)
Thanks for reading Lui
Flipping other's music to create a "new" piece is not original. I once heard of a student who thought he'd flip his professor's doctoral composition so that he wouldn't have to do much work. What came out was Beethoven's 9th!
It can be fun for a while, flipping Christmas music is hysterical!
Wouldn't you rather be creative on your own?
Cheers,
Rick Harrison
