The piano and percussion writing is what really makes this stand out for me with the totk inspirations, the sporadic and all over the place parts that just fill in the blank space left by everything else, with all these incredible shots, in between! I love how you mess with rhythm in this too, makes it super engaging. The sharp dynamic contrast in this piece is so cool, and I think you could have gone even further with it in that aspect! Excellent stuff tho

I mean the way you so seamlessly flow from these loud punchy and aggressive full ensemble parts to more narrow and quieter moments, which really creates that sense of pushing forward and change in the piece. I Think you did a very good job of it, and it could be elevated just a little bit more if you made some of the louds a bit louder, and the quieter spots a little bit softer to make that difference even more intense.
I see, helpful to know forward motion's resonating so much! And there were def spots I'd add articulations or cut back, so it's helpful to think to approach *around* dynamics and deliberately, now that you say it. Thanks for this, I do want to revisit the piece, so it's giving me some ideas already ^^
