First of all, welcome to the forum!

About the piece, I found it fairly boring, but that may just be because this is not my preferred ensemble (I'm bored by Apocalyptica, too). I also think that this could be truncated to include five or perhaps only four cellos. This piece doesn't seem interesting enough in terms of harmony or form to lack timbral variance, but a wider variety of instruments may reduce the novelty you might be aiming at with a cello sextet. However, this may work better live, as the cellists could articulate to make different sounds, rather than just six channels of midi track 42.

Just listen to "Harmpit" and tell me that it doesn't make your bowels shake at least a little. I dare you.
