Eric,
Wild experiment. Jungle of tasty sounds. Pretty hypnotic too.
I started listening and reading your notes trying to focus, but then forgot what I was going to write about:) I like tunes that capture attention in soft way. Ok, remembered! I think the opening is too abrupt. If it was up to me, I would start with less instruments and add them as tune progresses. Scaler is a cool toy. I use it only as a scale / chord reference tool. I think I should experiment with it beyond my limited use. Thank you for sharing.

Misha.
