Hey Zouk,
Interesting stuff regarding 440 Hz.. Anyway, I like the mood of the piece, but the mix goes a bit weird at around 45 seconds. The pad sound starts to overwhelm everything else from there on. Its as if you are losing clarity or purity of the sound.
The pumping sidechain effect becomes a little too much. You need to bring in some variation - probably at around 3:10.
Overall some nice ideas, but I think you should work on the arrangement a bit. The piece is a bit too one dimensional at the moment. The listener becomes bored without variation.
Cheers

You surely have good musical ideas, and nice to hear that you are experimenting with natural universal keynote.
However the overall sound in this song is mudded and not well defined, in my opinion it can be because of mixing issues.
Also, did you used some kind of mastering plugin? The misusage of that can also enphatize mixing problems.

Its maybe placebo, but feels harmonically more natural indeed.
That saw synth, what came in in 2:44 feels somewhat out of place/ to dry.
It sounds like you have mixed it too long without ear resting pauses.
Master seems over compressed.
Try routing all percussive/peaky instruments to one channel and limit them there, so those beautiful pads remain untouched by compression and can flow free.
Hi-hat sounds to hi and tiny, tray layer it with something with more hi-mid frequencies.
I really like the feeling of the track.
