Brunch In 5/4

This is one of my favorite melodies and I've made up many variations on this. Usually they could not be clearly placed in a musical category. Electronic Dance Music; not to be specified.
In fact, I'm regularly advised to make more typical genre-oriented music, because listeners would like that.  And algorithms of music sites and playlists like it even more. 
I have quite a bit of danceable (and listening) music pretty much completed, but my drawing tablet broke so I can't draw new albums for a while. Since I still like to share new music with you, I decided to make a clearer genre song and reinvent and discover one of my own for that. Also I can simply adjust the original albumart for a second version.
I think the genre is Lo-Fi, but let me know if you disagree.  
As always, critiques and feedback are also welcome. :D

Journey to the Stars (Slow version)

This track helps you to breathe consciously
Breathing supports mental health by reducing stress, calming the nervous system and promoting mindfulness.

My music is freely improvised, usually on VST synthesizers, sometimes fretless bass, guitar, occasionally electric viola or cello, with a variety of effects pedals. Solo music is performed live and recorded as 'FlownBlue'.  I am also in four improvising duos: 'Windfall Light' (with Jim Tetlow), 'Abstract Blue' (with Kevin Buckland), 'Light Fragments' (with Steve Escott), and Szukanie (with Michał Wojciechowski). I'm a member of the Quadelectronic improv group based in Leicester, UK. Duo music is all on Bandcamp - links below.
