I've been asked to do this before, but I have no idea where to start.

Find a way to bash at sounds.  I use my normal qwerty keyboard in
cheesetracker.  Slowly, I've learned what sounds nice and what
doesn't.  A midi keyboard would probably be better, but I've got so
used to this layout that it's quite natural for me to play (slowly)
what I want.

The interesting thing is that the kinds of things I do have names -
things are in a "key" and such like, even though I couldn't say I knew
about it until someone pointed it out.

I suppose listening to music just puts those patetrns in your head,
even if you don't have names for them.
