I like the atmosphere at the beginning and the smooth, jazzy chord progression. I think you needed a stronger transition into :31 (or at least not such an awkward pause), but the harmonic progression is still cool. Sometimes, it sounds like the bass and E-piano are getting in each other’s way a bit. Some more careful equalization might fix that. Also, this piece has very few frequencies in the upper range of the spectrum. That minimal percussion sample that serves as a stand-in for a snare or something is basically the only instrument with treble tones in the piece. I like the rhythmic content at 1:56, and the funky synth bass at 2:14 is fun. My main problem with the piece is probably the lack of a strong sense of direction. There are a lot of good ideas here, but not a lot of melodic development, variation in the instrumental hierarchy, or a cohesive structure. The minimalism also wears on me after a while. I like the piano blips that start at around 4:25 - they contrast nicely with the smooth texture of the E-piano chords. Still, there’s very little variety in the texture throughout this piece, which is tough to make work in a 5.5-minute track. Overall, nice work with the production, harmonies, atmosphere, and sound design. The composition is a little bland, though, and you missed an opportunity to maximize the emotional appeal of this piece imo. Keep at it, G4CEsz-Official! :)

Chill beat, soothing chords, rhythms held my attention to it. Had me nice and relaxed real quick. 8) Fine track. IMO, could be taken to another level with a few additional layers of subtle atmospheric pads and decorations, particularly around the 3:47 slowdown, which doesn't feel well-supported by the soundscape right now. Also thought it would be cool if the percussion were softened further, just here and there; sections of slower attacks, narrower/duller filtering over it plus an additional reverb/noise layer. Would go as far as suggesting to give the impression of "melting" all the perc into a formless burble of reverberations over the last minute.

Hope all goes well with the album!
