Very fitting theme for Yuwal. Lots of tension and drama, all well composed for that pretty difficult time signature. Quality work!

Ah yes, a 7/4 time signature, lovely. I noticed it immediately. You should have joined https://itch.io/jam/rmcc-8, you would have been totally at home. You use it well, not overloading it with complexity and often having a consistent beat to hang on to (until 1:15 comes, and you likely intend to confuse people a bit ;). You also use a nice theme to go along with the 7/4 (which is not trivial: most often it just sounds like a 4/4 cut-off or 3/4 unnecessarily extended). You have the right theme for an evil encounter with Yuwall in my opinion. And I love a 7/4 done right! Nicely done :D

Enemy EncountersRefreshing and well-executed!
The overall orchestration, especially percussions, is handled masterfully. Using a scratching sound to function as a weapon sound and percussion itself is clever. The section at 1:15, both instruments and percussions, is phenomenal and unique for Yuwal! It gives me some nice goosebumps!
Excellent entry!

Peckathons' SymphonyAbsolutely tickled by that comment. Thank you so much!
I really appreciate you taking the time to provide such gracious feedback. Humbled to be among so many exceptional entries and that my vision for Yuwal resonated.
Col legno is the string technique I believe you're referring to for the the scratching sound and I love that it popped out to you.
Cheers!
This is really cool :) Great choice of instruments - the tablas are a nice touch. Nice composition - you keep the piece slow and subdued while adding new elements to build tension to great effect. Great job!
