Probably picked a scale and pitched the original sample around in that scale. It'll generally sound at least pretty good if it's not too odd of a scale, especially with how spaced out it is, it'll probably be pretty forgiving even if the scale isn't so compatible with the original melody, and for something like this, a bit of clash would be fitting.

Mostly dreams and vague memories of places you have experienced for the first time. The world appears bigger as a child, which I guess your brain remembers the sentiments you had and then kinda just mixes them with old dreams as well as old interpretations you had as a child, which just makes for one cool nostalgic emotion as an adult. That's my guess.

An infinite goldmine of harmony that I still have not heard anyone else talk about: Sliding a single chord around is the basis for quite a lot of cool music. Something I love is to take a full 7 note scale, copy that a 4th down on the next moment in your harmonic rhythm, and do that 2 times for 4 total scales each a 4th down from the previous. A very cool sound by itself, but you can invert them onto a different note as the 1 individually, making it sound a whole lot less like an obvious and angular cycle that jumps from place to place. (Which is very cool too) 4 total scales down the cycle of 4ths is just an example, but alongside 5ths, it is the smoothest option. You can do anything with this... Find the notes each scale has in common for diatonic stuff, omit things so you can reveal them later (let's say a jazzy solo), take note of the chromatic lines and stuff. You don't have to start the cycle on the 1st chord in your cycle or chunk thereof either, there's no end to the flexibility of this concept, and so many ways to connect it to other forms of harmony. See if you can work a blues scale into it if you're careful with which blues melody scale degree you play over the underlying shifting harmony scales, try that with an exotic one like double-harmonic too. You can overlap all the harmony scales at once and see which other scales are present within, that can be a melody scale if the tensions line up in a cool way with the tensions within how the harmony moves. Something really cool is to take the notes that also occur in the next scale and give them a big tail so you're basically blurring between key centers, this works exceptionally well with cycles of major and minor thirds, as they from a complete cycle quickly, meaning your last chord back to the 1st has the same consonant tails. (Tritone cycle loops even quicker, but that hardly provides the cycle effect) All of this is SOOOOO good for ambienty stuff like deephouse and jungle and stuff, those 2 are my favorites cause transposing sampled chords just like you did here is a staple with them, and these sounds are related to those. It can also however do FAR more dissonant yet still very structured things, excellent for complex mathy breakdowns.
