"Rewind" effect

Has anyone here have any ideas on how to express via lights and accompany a rewind sound effect, for when a scene rewinds back to a point?

I have ideas for alternately sweeping the two moving lights from stage left to stage right, but it all seems so disconnected.

  • Maybe this is too simple but... 

    If you have multiple rows of backlights you could do a fast chase of these from DS to US through the rewind sound, mimicking its speed and repeating the pattern through the rewind, then landing in the ending state cue.  Or if you have lights that are at 45° from all sides (45° from front on SR, then 45° from front on SL, then 45° from back on SL, then 45° from back on SR) you could do a chase similar to the above one that circles the stage.
    Good luck and hope this helps.
