The kind of melody you would hear at a nice bar, near closing time, which makes you think about life.

I love classical music (as you can tell from most of my audio) and I'm a big Carnival of the Animals fan. In most classical music, there is still a climax, whether it's in the middle of the song or at the end. To be honest, this is just a few pianos playing notes and chords that go together pretty much out of order. In some cases that is what music is like in a bar, and I think that you're right. Is does make you think about life in a way that you haven't before. Good job though!

Saw your post on R4R thread. You got skipped so I'll do it without requesting any. :)

What TimFelt suggested is very helpful. (in case you did it with your own hands, not by DAW) I'm not a professional on music theory but I can say that the biggest problem of yours is timing. Yes, music is not all about doing things with perfect timing but these gaps between the notes are just not musical for me. I can see what the patterns you're trying to express are like but the timing made them look like just a random set of notes. Mastering is fine at this point. (It's not a serious thing when you make solo instrumental, though.)
Practice makes perfect dude. Keep trying and you'll be pro!

Sounds like Minecraft music but not bar music.

The hardest part about hearing this is the lack of flow, it feels as if something jagged is pulling it out on a string. Like pulling a loose hair from a bowl of soup, it has bits of food stuck to it. This should be playing like full line of music, without the unnecessary pauses and freezes. You're dunking the music in ice-cold water and it spoils the melody.
I understand you probably have trouble with coordination—most pianists do at first—and an easy way to help that is to work the beat of the song with your left hand. Then, study the right. You should always create a flow with both hands to keep notes constantly playing so that everything flows smoothly.
Another thing to take note is that of using four beats per measure. Count in seconds or the speed in which your playing, 1, 2, 3, 4… 1, 2, 3, 4… On the count of 1 hit the notes a little harder, let it move into you like dancing does. There is always a beat and this song lacks that beat. 1, 2, 3, 4.
I do recommend you practice at least 15 minutes every day. Practicing once a week barely helps you with anything.
Lypur is an excellent and free source for learning piano. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vphWgqbF-AM&list=PL253192EED47525A8
