Risers, use em. Take a cymbal hit, reverse it, and throw it on the end of every 8th or 16th bar. Experiment with things not a percussion when you make risers too, try synths, home recordings, mechanical noises. Next?  Filters, use em. You can give synth melodies and sequences motion by throwing a filter over them and riding it like a wave. Add some resonance and tweak frequencies for interesting and robust flavours in your synth play or even drums. Speaking of drums, when you&#8217;ve got a clean bare bones sound like this, percussive escalations referred to as &#8220;tops loops&#8221; will go far to fill in builds and choruses alike.  Next&#8230; Pause, learn to pause. If it&#8217;s going into a film, a trailer, or anything of the sort you need to start and stop your arrangement to give your listeners a chance to reflect.  Try breaking for a bar every 16 bars, use a riser, let the reverb shine along side a sub drop.  Hope it&#8217;s useful.
