For a time before Covid, I played in a gamelan ensemble at the U of Michigan. I never got any good at playing, and I didn't really get the theory behind the whole thing. But I liked how it sounded, I have attempted to try to capture some of that in this exercise.

I can see the gamelan reference, but it also almost sounds like one of those concept pieces with the metronomes all set to slightly different times.
I remember being blown away by gamelan music because it induced a kind of psychosis in me that I had never experienced with music before. It shocked me that music could do something so disturbing. But that was before punk rock and many other genres. Ah youth.
It sounds like you actually have a kind of orchestral sense with this one. Interesting blend of styles.
