It's not perfect however pretty good for me.

Hey.... that was nice!   Relaxing, fairly smooth, and an overall pleasant listen.
 

Very nice. I'd suggest developing more of a theme though.

Thanks yeah it is very minimal as it is intended to be. They seemed to be a spate of electronic remixes of this years ago. Although this was made ITB using samples, I tried to keep it organic sounding as possible. I could have added more automation and note by note tweaks however I was doing this in a time frame.
 

Kind of a moody, brooding piece, but I enjoyed it.  Obviously a lot of work went into it, and it shows in the finished product.

From a technical point of view I used a lot of sample voices to get the sound and automation. Several levels of timbre and expression for every instrument. My computer isn't great so I had to split the load between two instances.  I had  up and down bowing on every string part. The difference is subtle however only discerning ears will hear it.
 
Next time I will step down the sample rate, so the computer has more breathing space.
 

Feels/Sounds like it is setting a scene, a prelude perhaps, thanks for sharing.

Made a couple of tweaks tonight. Going to give a couple of days before mixing it down again.

As an orchestral mock up you have done very well with the programming, keep it going.
