I was wondering what it was about this piece that gave it that weird vibe besides the harmony.  Then I realized it's in 5/4!  I also like the more intense section in the middle that seems to change to 5/8.  It's a very melancholy/angsty and dark atmosphere you create here.  I also like your use of the b2nd degree in the bass - I'm not sure if it's a strict neapolitan chord or not but it's nice.  Thanks for sharing this quite enjoyable mood you've created!

Hey! Thanks for your kind words! Really appreciated

The flower of the dead... in five... interesting, I think you've created a fitting atmosphere- gentle, yet emotional and odd in a way.

I usually try to see if theres anything I can add to make the composer reconsider some aspects...

Hm

I think, since it is a flower of the dead you describe... how about a less moving part? Maybe some sort of tremolo giant chords modulation?

Still with diminishes, minors etc. 

Maybe add a cello? or a bass clarinet? to vary the sound?

 

I've been listening to it, while looking at the snow falling outside, I thought the atmosphere fitted really well with your composition.

What I particularly liked: the transition at 1'00

What I was less fond of: some dissonant parts (e.g.: 3'24-3'30)

Thanks for sharing, very pleasant!
