I'm digging this. I like the lack of movement and overall slowness. There's a very 60ish character here, certainly, with sounds picked very specifically and put almost isolated from the whole. With that said, I think the strings and the overall structure based on textures (something like Penderecki used to do) work pretty well. The part with the percussion and the quick movement in the winds, etc, can sound a little "Well let's do something different!", but it is a little refreshing. Though I personally would've enjoyed the stillness until the end.
I see some Bartok influence near the end, with the quasi-counterpoint between the instruments. Overall, I'm pretty OK with the ending, and you didn't go for a bow form or any of that so that's also cool to me.
As far as the score and such, I'm not going to say much since it seems clean and I assume it's all properly notated and such.
You could've said a lot more about it, as is usually the case in this forum people don't talk enough about the piece themselves. But oh well.
Other than this, good work, I liked it.
