Persistent To a Fault

I felt slightly burned out after making weekly music since WB started and felt rather inspirationless.
On Monday, I was goofing a bit with all the knobs and dials in Diva and randomly placed a few notes to hear the sound it generated.
A bleepy bloopy, and a whiny pad.
Distracted, I did some chores around the house while the bleepy bloopy and the pad played repeatedly.
I didn't particularly like the results, but I saved the project anyway. Usually, I just trash a project when I don't like the outcome.
The weird dissonant tune kept haunting me. I heard it when trying to sleep and was mumbling it while watching TV.
I loaded the project a few times and tried to develop a better melody, but nothing I came up with inspired me.
I am unsure if it was a spiritual experience, but something about the tune kept begging me to stay alive, to be made, to exist. So... f**k it; I'll give it my best shot and create some --imho-- outstanding beat/percussive elements to it, and see where this takes me. If that tune wants to exist, I'll give it some friends to accompany them.
I didn't put a lot of thought into the track progression and just let my feelings and the tune guide me, and it turned into something I might not be fond of, but on the flip side, I feel very attached to it.
The dissonant tune was persistent to a fault.
