This is really good! I like your handling over counterpoint, this is definitely going to be a good work for you. The style and everything is very cohesive, and this is just a midi. Very mature writing. I have a problem though with the piece harmonically about 2 minutes in, the vocabulary harmonically becomes drastically different and I just don't think fits what you stated very effectively in the first 90 seconds of the piece. If you're writing mostly dissonant intervals and textures, then all of a sudden you get these very open sonorities and what sounds like to be very tonal gestures, that can be a bit jarring and takes away from the overall cohesiveness. That just takes a little bit more effort on your part. I don't have a score so I can't say much else, happy writing.
