This piece reminds a little of Charles Ives' mix of the familiar and the esoteric. The tubular bells at the start in particular remind me of his New England set. There seems to be a reasonable amount of tertian harmonies and diatonic melodies in your piece to create a general sense of harmonic motion. I dont just mean in the last third where it is most evident but throughout the piece. A lot of the dissonance appears to be generated by polytonality rather than atonality. I don't get a strong sense of melodic or harmonic chromaticism that would destroy the sense of diatonic harmony.
