Did you actually listen to the whole track or not? Maybe listening to the whole track could resolve the tention?

Is it an interesting piece?
Yes

Thanks

Is it enjoyable?
Not for me.
Is it annoying?
For me? You bet.

I'm not exactly surpirsed at that, but it's your POV so it's perfectl acceptable here.
If you could define a bit better what annoyed you (after you listened to the whole track, unless you have and I misunderstood the first part of your post somehow)

Sorry for been so blunt, but this is how I felt about the piece.

No problem. I can take bluntness, not that I understand, but I sure get what you mean, so cheers.

I would suggest you should get rid of the complexities in the score, it creates un necessary stress and confusion. Say what you want with your music directly without going into complexities. Where was the musical line , the theme? I didn’t find any.

Again I will have to ask.
Are you actually reffering to the score, as in the pdf, that should be cleaner, cause if so I totally agree with youh. If you are talking about the music, I will certainly have to dissagree with you all the way.
i. I expressed exactly what I wanted with that music, and probably for the firs time...
ii. Stress and confusion is not always un necessary. Ever considered that the tention will be resolved and there will be a closure later on? Or that the artist intended to create tention? After all music is not always "happy, nice, consonant music", certainly not for me.
ii. Music line, the theme: There wasn't one at the traditional sense of the term. IF you are looking for melodies in half of my works, you'll find none. If you care to listen what kind of melodies I can come up with, by all means visit the following two links, listen and feedback me about melody there. but here, the intention was not to create a "melody"...
A Tale Of Two Kingdoms (computer game music), Epic...
and
Thale Cres Suite
Looking forward to your reply, Saul.
