This sounds well-suited to the 'cue' music used in movies, TV shows, sometimes in documentary films.
The 'sameness' of the music over the 2 minute duration makes it unobtrusive to what's going on in the visual scene, a desired trait sometimes in the point-of-view of the Music Supervisor putting together the film Score.

If an Instrumental composition is intended to stand alone as entertainment, I recommend that Instrumental works follow some of the same Structural 'rules/tools' of Lyrical works, with 'Verses', a 'Chorus', a 'Bridge' if it needs one.

These components supply Structure a listener can relate to. Listeners are 'hooked' by those first sounds in an Introductory Movement, which goes on just long 'enough', an elusive concept, but, the judgment call of the Songwriter, to serve that Introductory 'hook-factor' function.
Then the Verse begins to 'set' that 'hook' with something new, the vocal delivery of a Lyric in a Song, entry of some Instrumental innovation in the Instrumental composition.

The Songwriter, The First Listener, has to decide when 'enough' Introductory Movement has been done, when it is 'time' to start the Verse, and then, when it is 'time' to end the Verse.

Can your Song go back then and repeat the Verse Movement? Or is it 'time' to move on to a Chorus.

Again, thinking in terms of these Structural components even in an Instrumental composition can, I believe, make a more entertaining, hook-factor-sustaining piece.

If the Chorus was decided upon as the right component to bring in after one Verse, then a second Verse Movement can repeat what the first Verse Movement did, bringing you back to a second giving of the Chorus. This could get you over two-minutes. How much longer do you, the Songwriter, The First Listener, want to on? How much is 'enough', not 'enough', too much?

Then, in a Lyrical composition, the Songwriter has to find a third Verse, a satisfying denouement' (ending) for the Lyrical storyline, to enable a final Chorus, and Coda (Final Musical Movement).

Despairing of finding the Third Verse denouement to complete the Lyrical storyline, (The Third Verse Curse), Songwriters often find a Bridge to renew listener interest, and then do a final giving of the Chorus, the Coda and end.

Instrumentally or Lyrically listeners, to pay attention and not just 'hear' the background noise of a mood-setting musical cue, need a Structure they can relate to, that they can perceive as Repetition or Change. This is less important when the music is used as 'Incidental Music' in film. It is simply mood-setting background music, not intended to stand alone as the main entertainment.

There's a market for it if your recordings are broadcast ready and you can get them into music libraries or directly to Music Supervisors. www.TAXI.com specializes in supplying demands of their customers inviting paid members to submit broadcast-ready recordings for their customers' consideration. There are likely others in the UK, European Union, Asia, Australia. Global marketplace. One success can bring others looking to see what else you have.
