Don't take anything what I'm saying too serious Peter, it is just my view, my interpretation of you intend.

Part 0:18 to 0:30 (around) it need to be blend a bit more organically with the rest, sounded a bit dry and separated from the rest of the track for my test (again, only my opinion).

Next thing which is really important to me as this part will make huge difference in setting-up and holding-up this atmosphere in your whole track - is FX and more FX (for now I could hear a minimal usage of them) - this will definitely improve overall receiving impression on your listeners.

You may also very a bit your drums a specially in second part of your track.

The rest is pretty sweet and elegant - you know what you are doing my friend, I like the direction you going so far with your track.

Cheers,

Darek

Thx for taking the time to listen and reply Darek.

Anybody els before I rework this peace?

With the elements you have in place right now, if you were to rework the drums so that it's a breakbeat, it would be so slick. Think Abdomen Burst, Aeron Aether, and the like! Also what Darek had to say :)

Strings seem nice and natural. Not sure how I feel about you so contrastingly combining the EDM and orchestral genres, seems a bit forced. I mean the orchestration and harmonies are fine, but the 2 genres meeting this way seems a bit awkward. Sounds kind of like a Yamaha keyboard demo. The drums are boring, uninspired sounding, like a thousand drum kits from a million productions I've heard before, nothing special here. Almost seems like the track would be better without the drums.

The composition is nice, but the production is rather weak and stale.

I agree on Evolve´s comment about not really blending the orchestral sound with the beat. you could try a softer kick, and adding some warm percussion to break the 4 to the floor beat. I would layer the main piano with some pluck sound and move some of the piano chords uptempo.
Some atmospheric fxs at the back would spice the track too.

Nice melodies and vibe going on.
