Khaiyin - Quartz

So here's my 2nd completed song... and I gotta say - this one is a lot more complete. It's definitely a 'trouse' (trance+house) track, for lack of a better word. It took me 3 nights to write with minor tweaks on the third night. This song was an attempt at replicating the Avicii sound, but it turned out a lot 'happier' than I intended. Maybe it lacks some electro-ey elements. I tried to add them in, but it just wouldn't meld. Still learning, I guess. Anyways, here's the Soundcloud player for higher quality audio & the youtube for an Ableton Live view of the project:

Khaiyin - Quartz

I'm quite happy with the chorus, but the the intro sounds very plain to me. I didn't know what else to do with it. Or maybe I'm just being picky - an intro is meant to be basic, after all. The synths are very generic of course. I haven't had enough time or experience in patch making to come up with anything overly creative in this regard. This project was more to learn synth layering, arrangement, automation and effects.

As always feedback is always appreciated.

Thanks for listening!
