Interesting and original piece this :)
The mixing could really use some work though. Pretty much all the instruments are clashing and overtaking each other. Gotta work on the EQ, but you should also look a bit into compression as well.
The instruments don't sounds very cheap, which kind of ruins the sound experience together with the poor mixing.
Some of the transitions, like the one at 2:34, are kinda lazy. I believe it could have been done much better. As it is now it's like the song stops and starts on a new one.
Apart from the transitions I liked the arrangement and it was well thought through. I am a firm believer of structure though. Even though you want to be original and follow your heart, it is important that you don't get too stuck in "doing your own thing". IN my opinion music isn't about "expressing" emotions, but it's about "portraying" them. Thus if the listener isn't able to feel the same emotion you did when you made the piece, something is wrong. Focusing your song structure around basic musical structure principles, will increase the songs ability to portray your emotions to ANY listener.
As Zech already mentioned, this piece lacks background instruments at some parts. The part from 1:20 - 2:30 have no background instruments whatsoever. You should at least add a backup guitar with some chords here. Otherwise it just sounds stale.
Certainly isn't a bad track, and it has some really cool ideas in it. The mixing and sound design was what ruined it for me, but if you continue working on your mixing, and maybe get your hands on some better samples, I believe you can take your music to the next level :).
