This is my personal take, I'd try to compress the ideas into a shorter package, at least if this is the song you're going to lead with when sharing your music. Brevity is your friend until people actually know and trust you as an artist. Percussion would absolutely help, there's a clear percussive quality to the composition already. I like the ambiance of the track though, maybe it's just the pic but it does remind me of walking through leaves in autumn.
I'm not trying to emulate anyone, at least consciously. A lot of the time it feels like grasping in the dark and I end up with things I never could have planned. Inspiration-wise, I really love Autechre, especially the live stuff and Ovuca, Aphex Twin, that kind of stuff as far electronic music goes. Mostly I listen to classical music these days, though.
