Hey,

I made this several months ago, but haven't worked on it since. I'm not sure if I like where it's going, and I'm not sure if I like the cello line in the beginning. I haven't been able to make any progress because I can't decide if I like what I have or if I should go back and start over. So, I thought I'd post it here and try to get some of your thoughts. Let me know what you think!

I really like it. What is the instrumentation? Could you post a score? That would really help. 

Thank you! The instrumentation is harp, piano, cello, double bass, celeste, flutes, dulcimer, and processed audio. I don't have a full score of it yet, but I've started one. It's incomplete, but I could post it if you like.

The cello line in the beginning is great, except for the jump just before the first D in the middle of the staff.

What's the purpose of the piece? If it's to be generally subconsciously processed and relaxing, the direction it's going isn't as huge of an issue and the modulations are more felt rather than heard. If it's not supposed to be that way, then the modulations should be heard rather more than felt. 

I don't know if you've decided by this point, but assuming you're trying to make this an ethereal experience rather than a sit-down listen piece, starting over would be counterproductive. You end in B-flat minor, so you could easily go to D-flat major, or the risky D minor. Have you experimented with modes in this piece? Locrian or lydian would be really interesting here with the clashing altered tones!
