Compose for synthwave music that captures a retro, nostalgic vibe by starting with a strong chord progression. Loop this progression to inspire your lead melody, focusing on tight, expressive timing that avoids clichéd, linear patterns like simple ascending or descending scales. Instead, craft a melody with tasteful leaps, syncopated rhythms, and expressive phrasing that enhances its emotional impact. Emphasize flowing arpeggiated textures over running 16th or steady 8th note basslines, and incorporate inversions, suspensions, and subtle chord alterations to create a dynamic push-and-pull effect.
