It may not be much, but it's satisfying to be able to throw together a little riff as a homage to something else and just have my own chords flow naturally, putting what I wrote not too long ago into practice.
Of course I need to write the rest of the song, which is going to require deciding on a musical direction for the rest of the game. Solo dev means I usually get wrapped up in other things. I can't do "cool and smooth" for everything. XD
