The jpeg is small on the blog so maybe make it a bit larger here. I love the pattern in the background and I think the stripes you have running vertically work pretty well. I think if you made the colors you use in the stripes were brighter than the ones used in the background, the edges would vibrate more. But I think the overall design is working pretty well.
I love the lines and the asymmetry this piece has. I think something needs to be done to make it look more as if it is vibrating but it is almost there. Maybe brighten the blue up a little.
The pattern you created has this nice spiral affect that has a lot of potential for colors clashing/vibrating together, but the vertical stripes overlaying that pattern doesn't feel necessary - those stripes feel like I'm looking through a veil to see what's behind it. I agree with Dayna that your piece would benefit from brighter colors, specifically the blue - if both colors were bright, the edges would vibrate more. Maybe you should think about making the shape of the canvas fit the pattern (so you'd be working with a diamond canvas instead of the rectangle one. The rectangle works fine, but since your pattern is so geometric I think having a non-rectilinear background could work as well.
I think your composition is very strong and I can tell the edges are vibrating. Adjusting the colors and giving them a higher chroma might make the edges vibrate even more! The way you used multiple directions of all the lines was a great choice because it gives your composition a lot of movement and in a way, spirals inward.
A strength in this pattern is definitely the composition, shapes and the radial balance. The sharp edges really make your eyes travel around the pattern. And the edges really vibrate. I think that changing the values of the colors would improve this pattern. It would also be interesting to see this pattern in a organic shape.
