I agree with pliorius: some nice ideas, but I found the lack of development a bit much through all ~7 minutes. The material is also quite traditional in places and therefore becomes slightly predictable. In particular, there's a perfect cadence which pops up every now and again (I think the first instance is at 0:47) - not only does this have the effect of making the piece sound as though it wants to either move on or finish altogether, it struck me as slightly vanilla given the elegant choice of timbres and other assorted harmonic quirks.

I liked the more rhythmically adventurous part in the middle, and I would suggest maybe shortening the entire work and building upon these if you're going to stay on the path of sustained repetition.
