Instrumentation:
One of the ways I've used to further develop the rhythm of this piece is by initially having a basic idea and expanding it further on each instrument I've used (piano, bass guitar and drums), so they would be compatible with each other. Meaning when one instrument improvises, the other would play a supporting role (and the 3rd would either drop out entirely or also support).
Simple Chords:
I used simple triad chords for this piece rather than more complex chords such as sevenths because I didn't want it to take the attention away from the other instruments and I didn't want the piano line to clash with anything else. Also, I was already familiar with them and since they were easy to remember, that meant it became easier for me to put down ideas and that allowed me to progress much faster in terms of the composition.
Transposition:
I used this technique to further develop the piece because I wanted to maintain the listener's attention by transposing the relevant instruments (you can especially notice it in the piano and later in the bass guitar), thus making the piece more down-tone, as opposed to the introduction where it sounds bright and happy.
