Follow an idea.
See where it goes.
Follow your curiosity.
Hear what an inversion does. Turn a held chord into an arpeggio, loosen the timing, or move a note in the piano roll. Keep what you like and undo the rest.
Hear it with your sounds.
Drag the progression into your DAW and try it with a piano, a pad or the synth already in your session. Switch on Bass only for a matching bass line. The arrangement is yours to take from there.
