As someone who listens to a TON of electronica, across a variety of the sub genres, let me say I think you really have something here. You made this yourself? Because I think it's really good.
The only suggestions I have are maybe fiddle with a couple of the piano chords a little to try and find the perfect ones. A very small number of them sounded ever so slightly off to me.
And maybe a little more mixing work on the transitions. That one synth towards the end could have been more powerful, or something.

Thank you so much! I did make it myself, took me a bit less than a day to program, mix and all.

wow, that only took you a day?
You must have some real talent then. Can't wait to hear how it turns out if/when you get a final mix done.

Thanks man, I really appreciate that. It only took me a day because I had the idea for like the first half in my head already, and I was just really liking how it was turning out as I kept going. After too long though, I start to get diminishing returns on my tweaks to the mix or song parts, so I always have to take a break and come back to it after my ears and brain are fresh. I'll probably write something else before I finish this, but I'll post any updates on this thread.
About your suggestions, after listening today, I've started to feel the same way. The piano work is a bit dense, so I'll be messing with it a bit. The ending could be built up better. Originally, I was going for something really chilled out and ambient, but after the piano solo-ish part, i think the next part be bigger, more dramatic maybe. I'm thinking of adding a gated synth.
Transitions are probably my greatest pitfall, I honestly don't really know what makes a good one. Even listening to other music, I'm not sure what they're doing that I like. I've been a musician for over 10 years, but I've only been writing music like this for a few years as a hobby and, up to this point, my mixes have been kind of muddy and amateur. I can write music for days sometimes, but the mixing side of everything is still pretty new to me.

It sounds great. Very inspiring.
