I liked your compozition, but its way too short and doesnt seem to be going anywhere.
Have you considered writing music with other people? Having a second (or third, fourth..) opinion can turn a good compozition to a friggin awesome one.

Valentin's got the right idea. You had some cool sounds and a cool musical idea or two, but the piece doesn't go anywhere. There's no progression; it stays exactly the same all the way through.

As-is, it sounds like the introduction to a much longer piece, and not a standalone work.

I actually really like this; you have great compositional skills, but I imagined some parts in the second half to have some timpani and cymbals crescendoing into small explosions with the music, I think that would fit the piece. And as others said, it sounds like an intro to a longer piece; maybe even some sort of prog metal epic? :)

I also like this very much, its theatrical music :D

It would really fit with a mellow scene in a movie

that was great left me wanting more very atmospheric :-)
The creation and destruction of harmonic and 'statistical' tensions is essential to the maintenance of compositional drama. Any composition (or improvisation) which remains consonant and 'regular' throughout is, for me, equivalent to watching a movie with only 'good guys' in it, or eating cottage cheese.
