Well, like I have a right to say anything after just posting my first ever posted piece here!
But - and this is a gripe I have with modern classical music as a whole, not with yours in particular - why no tune? Everything nowadays seems to have shades of Harrison Birtwhistle and Bartok going through it. Very clever, very dramatic. Makes me think of old black-and-white detective movies when there's a rooftop night chase going on.
But it wouldn't know a melody if it had one given to it giftwrapped. All film-noir drama, no tune!
You CAN blend the two, you know - listen to Michael Nyman. He's a bit of a one-trick pony, I know that, but then so are many composers (including Bach just to be scandalous - and I can prove that if asked!) But his tight-tune loops build up atmosphere rather well. And can easily be reproduced via Fruity Loops!
So overall, do I like it? I would do in a movie, it would fit the action excellently. As a standalone piece - no - I'm a New Age Melody lover.
Sorry.
Now feel free to have a go at mine!!!
Yours with respect
