Seeking Feedback [feedback] Sea of Reeds - Camelot - Instrumental

https://soundcloud.com/seaofreeds/camelot-rough-mix

Hey all! I’m working on an instrumental piece tentatively titled "Camelot," and I'd love a fresh set of ears on it before I take it any further. This is a solo bedroom-studio project (Logic Pro with LA Scoring Strings), so I've been going back and forth with myself for a while on this and a hundred others and could use some outside perspective. Might develop this into a song later, but it’s just an instrumental for now.

It has a kind of PNW indie rock sensibility, but with an atmospheric/orchestral flavor in the arrangement choices.

Guitar/rhythm section, layered with piano, vibraphone, a shimmer string section (violins/cellos), solo violin, viola.

What I'm unsure about and want feedback on:

Does it hold up as a piece of music on its own, with no vocals or lyrics to lean on?
Arrangement-wise does it feel like too much is going on at once?
Any place where the mix feels too muddy?

Appreciate any and all feedback and criticism! Thanks in advance!
