'Abstrakshin' - Original Music/Another Throwback to Last Year! Electronic/Instrumental + Walkthrough!

I have some new songs

that I'll probably share over the next few days, but most of them are really short, so I want to expand them a little bit before sharing. I know I've done a few throwbacks lately, but I do enjoy going back and giving this songs a listen with fresh ears, its interesting to wax on the choices I made at the time, and how my knowledge of Ableton has grown since then. I also have access to better instruments now, though I think some of these old songs worked really well, so maybe I need to dive back into the old instruments and start incorporating them with the new.

Listen to Abstrakshin here.

I think this would be a fun

song to remix/edit a bit more; I really like the general idea, though I think some volume level changes and EQing could really happen accent certain parts a bit more. Some different drums might work better here too, I am not a huge fan of the kick sound, so I think this would be a great spot to incorporate more of the new drum kits. The main piano chords here are cool, I was practicing with quartal and quintal voicings (stacked fourths and fifths), which made for some giant harmony parts.
