Effective, quite nice. Not sure how I feel about the sudden pedal stops, where all the resonating strings cut out, it's kind of jarring. When I listen to minimalism, I tend to go a little trance-y and the sudden stops my reverie is broken. That's a useful tool, but maybe not so frequently as to fully interrupt my journey, so to speak. Odd ending ... from a composition standpoint it makes sense, but it's a little abrupt sounding - might benefit from being extended or from a diminuendo, something to let us down softly.

Also I love the sound you've captured in the recording, super clean and mellow. Lovely!

Nice little thing here, that flows into itself rather well, despite being sectioned by standard form. The stops didn't get to me so much as Eb9 with a focus on the 9th did. I know it's part of your main progression but it always felt a little odd to me for some reason; perhaps it's the predominant function being accented as though it had dominant function, but I'm not sure.
