Track description | Creative process
Here are my raw notes, obviously didn't follow all of them:

## Original
[reference](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MpiVAQcptKg&ab_channel=CloudDrop)
- high note riffs
- Major ish key
- driven beat
- strong beat transitions (1-2-3-4)
- Funky
- wah
- guitar harmonies
- "whoa"
- semi-complex key changes
- lots of 4-bar chord changes (usually in key)
- guitar solo?
- strings and organ?
- i doubt that axl low is not a reference to axl rose...

## New
- instruments
- piano
- strings
- he's an adventurous type
- kind of get a zelda/mgalaxy feel going with strings
- piano to keep it gentle and kind
- but gotta be rockin' too,
- he's a timetraveler???
- get some skip sounds in there for transitions?
- but try to be subtle with these if at all, game music is pretty organic

- structure
- intro
- filtered guitar doing riff
- riff
- fast beat
- strings - arps/runs

- quarter-time?
- break down from verse
- clean guitars
- chug-build up to chorus

- go back to half-time, chord build-up to riff
- strings - slow then fast notes
- riff

- "fun tempo"
- get it rock-funky
