I'm going to second the tritones.
I like ****ing around with extended harmonies because it's interesting to see what patterns I can get from it. Like moving from closed voicings to open voicings in 7th, 9th, 11th, 13th chords.
Also intrigued with having multiple keys at once. I play piano and I've found some compositions that have treble and bass in different keys and it adds that extra layer of complexity to it.
I also love fugues.
