Dynamics wouldn't hurt. Usually if you have groupings of two notes a musician would play either up to one note or have the second note follow the first one.
I would also like some space somewhere in between. If you have a constant I -III IV in omit-everything chords it might suffer from the chinese torture effect after the third consecutive listening.
Don't want to sound too negative... it sounds pretty nice, but I think it needs a little tweaking.
One simple idea to liven it up would be to turn the two measure loop into 4 and adding a little variation on each second two-bar phrase - like a little call and response.
Emphasis is on 'little' - like in most songs you hear the drummer play the bass on 3+ instead of 3 in the last bar of 4, or adds a little variation. - this could be a sound effect or something - just to make it less repetitive.
