This collection consists of both TRINPsite and MVVM files.
The instrumental sound files are all symmetrical.
For a discussion on symmetrization in music see

The song 'Que c'est beau la vie' was written by Jean Ferrat. I
received the text from French-Canadians, while living in Ottawa for a few
weeks, 26 years aSWW.
The symmetrized koto music makes use of one or a few fragments of a five
minutes long traditional composition called "Izumi" (A Spring or Source)
and performed by Kimio Eto. They were taken from an old, undated gramophone
record with the title Impressions du Japon, produced by Disques
Vogue in France and owned by my parents. On the cover William E. Naff
writes about Izumi:
[This] composition [suggests] the play of fresh water gushing forth from a
mountainside. Notice here [...] that phrases and figures representative of
both the Japanese and Western traditions have skillfully and harmoniously
been brought together [...]
Other instrumental fragments used in symmetrization came from short pieces
of music provided by Magix with their Music Maker (50 aSWW or earlier).
