For those of you who like Chiptune, i reccomend and therefore shamelessly plug Jal, my musical arm as it were. I've been making game inspired music for the best part of a year now, and get a lot of joy out of it. :)
Whenever ive got a few hours to kill, I will often just experiment with different sounds and a lot of them become songs. Probably the best tune I've made is Descent, which was inspired by Zelda. I unintentionally made the descending flourish in Audacity (where I make all my songs) and built harmonies around it. The result was pretty good, and I made sure to try and get a kind of "epic hero" vibe.
So yeah, check me out at:
