Nice to hear more music from you! 
I love the composition and orchestration. It jumps effortlessly from chaotic to orderly, and from minimal to massive. The analog synth fits the arrangement nicely.
If there's anything at all to comment on orchestration-wise, the low end of the orchestration does feel a bit sparse at times, especially during the more grandiose moments. One idea is to develop some kind of rhythmic accompaniment by low instruments like contrabass, tuba, (contra)bassoon, or timpani.
Like you said, the expression needs work, although I wouldn't so much fine tune it as get completely wild with it. Exaggerate the volume swells, exaggerate the phrasing (i.e. make staccatos and detaches really snappy, make legatos really molten together, and so on). Finding the sweet spot is sometimes easier if you get completely wild and dial it back as needed.
My two cents. As always, you be the judge.
