Thanks for any suggestions!
...Then a spot of light approaches the alien and told him that the elders want to see him...
/me likes cliche adventure jokes... ;D
Think it ll be easier to come up with a continuation if you introduce more instruments during these 40 secs; in addition it ll sound richer.
One way:
at 9 secs - let a bell like instrument play some kind of arpeggio of the chords. For example a celesta could play: c5 a4 f4 f5 d5 c5 a4 g4 f4.... in a fitting rhythm.
at 19 secs - the "bass"pizz (that takes goes: f c f c f d f d) could be lowered or doubled an octave down to provide some variation n depth.
General thing:
To make it sound richer you could pan out the pizz to make them belong to a stringsection.
For example: the melody would probably be played by 1st n 2nd violin section so they d be on the left; the current bassnotes would be played by the viola section or the celli, n would in the former case be in the center n latter to the right.
If you ll add deeper bassnotes (the "19 secs thing" in my example) they d probably be played by the doublebasses n which are ordinarily placed on the far right.
I think that was the most thorough musical feedback we've had on this forum, Loominus. Well done.
i cant fealy be of much help there, as i cant find anything wrong with it, maybe try adding birds in the background, but almost subliminaly cheeping to the rythm?
