An honest beginning, puzzle was entertaining too. You might want to include this in a bigger map, while working on looks.

the hills are alive... with the sound of music

The part where you have to use the funnel can be solved without the funnel just with regular portals
i actually just found out about this because i didn't see that in the area by the end of the original funnel it went up, some arrows pointing up would help it.
Then in the actual tunnel with the spikes and everything some other black walls might be able to help not using normal portals
aside for that, fun little puzzle, i like the beginning with the good and broken rooms

Did you just shoot a portal after falling after the other one?

Uh, i don't know what you mean, but here i uploaded a walkthrough on youtube with my shortcut

(not the best quality but the best i can do right now)

i actually just now tried to solve the "real" way, and i didn't even realize that you could spawn another cube haha.

I started playing custom maps and record me playing them. It's neither a perfect run nor do I have to have solved the map in the way it's meant to solve it. I play the maps "blind", that means I've never been in them before and play them for the very first time. I also give a little feedback for the map in the video description.

Maybe you are interested in the fact, that I played your map: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_SUnG2ZgKM

Work with lighting to direct the player where you want them to go.

Spoiler
I think I did the second button backwards, I didn't use the excursion funnel at all.

You definitely have a unique style, which is why I'm even bothering to comment. You clearly spent quite a bit of time getting the textures on the walls how you want them and the columns in the entry way definitely grabbed my attention. However, if you're going to spend that much time on the aesthetics, you may also want to spend a bit of time working on lining up the door properly. It sort of undermines the beauty of the room.

Edit: What's the laser for?
