I'm not that happy with the beginning that much - I've only ever really done "add layers one by one" openings with nanoloop. I'd appreciate any advice on how to make it more interesting.

I still have three channels free and I was thinking about making some sort of "swooshing" noise channel, but thought against it (perhaps inconsistent with the rest of the track?).
Probably could use some more small variations in the start as well as the whole track, though I don't want to make it too complex melodically as it has a (relatively) thick texture.

Thanks for your time!
