I believe that having restrictions like that only breeds creativity. Classic video game music being an obvious example. Composers for those old games made some truly magical things that probably wouldn't have been half as amazing had they not been so limited by the hardware.

Semi on topic, does anyone have any favorite resources for learning music theory? My knowledge on the subject is pretty minimal and I'm trying to learn more, but it's pretty slow going reading random articles and watching youtube videos.

Here's another song I finished recently, it's a lot closer in style to what I typically make. Not sure how much this sort of thing fits in here, it's pretty different from what tends to get posted in this thread.

This is cool, the first half feels like something out of Metroid Prime. Elements of the second half reminded me of some of the music in Portal 2. Both good things. I don't really know much about making this style of music, so I have no real advice for improving it, but I like the sound selections. That kinda crunchy sounding synth at the very end has a cool texture, sounds almost like it went through an amp sim?

cut from my most recent project :D
two seperate songs, but they flow super well together, I like them as one big 7 minute techno adventure.

I have like 20 unfinished Renoise projects and only one I'm mostly satisfied with is, more or less, closer to completion.
