For now, let's inspect the audio-visual quality of the video, is it pleasing aesthetically? How do you like the shots? Is it something that keeps your attention? If not, why not? Do you like the music? And of course other feedback is welcome too.
Thanks in advance,

Youre asking for more than just the audio-visual quality in your questions, so Im just going to try a full review and if your video doesnt pass for a certain question I'll answer it after!
Explanation:
I approach reviews step by step, focusing on levels. If I notice enough critical issues in your video, I’ll pause the review and provide guidance on how to address those key areas. This way, you can concentrate on improving a few things at a time rather than feeling overwhelmed with too much feedback at once. Some aspects of video creation are foundational and should be solid before moving on to more advanced improvements. These aspects are level 1, then less foundational are 2, and so forth!
Here's my grading system:
✅ : You're good here, or good for your niche's expectations! We'll keep going with the review!
🟦 : You're ok here (or it's only a small matter). I could pause the review if enough of these pop up.
❌ : You're weaker in this, but we can work on it! Get more than 2 overall and we'll stop to focus on them!
⚠️ : Critical issue here! We'll pause the review and focus here!
⚪ : This is not applicable to the video or your channel! No effect! Lets keep going!

Good news: Your video lacks anything to comment on
bad news: Your video lacks anything to comment on
This is like abackground video that plays to establish a mood when one wants to work or to play on an idle screen
I couldnt imagine many people want to sit down to watch it, so really anything you play here will likely not be seen (think of those music videos with a video that plays on loop the whole time)
If thats your goal, then I think you hit it! You basically made an aethethic music video
Now your questions:
Is it pleasing aesthetically?
How do you like the shots?
Is it something that keeps your attention? If not, why not?
Do you like the music?
