Cool piece! Although some of the rhythms seemed off, and there seemed to be a lot of empty space. With some more instruments and backing, I think it could grow into an epic theme!
Also echoing everyone else - a middle line/countermelody and shifting the drone to other notes would've added a lot. But you do have good melodic skills! I like the first two variations the most.
Quite an interesting song, I don’t think I can add anything else other people haven’t said already
I like the structure of this a lot, the evolution of the piece makes it feel more and more complete until the end high note! This could use a countermelody or something to fill the piece in a little more as a single instrument (and drone) can only do so much. The bagpipe you used works really well as a lead and the triangle ding between variations was cool :)
19 coins left...impressive! I do think the triangle was a bit out of rhythm at times, and the volume could be tweaked. Going forward, maybe you could try adding a 'middle' bagpipe to add more to the harmonies, or move around the lower bagpipe?
I respect the attempt for least coins used. Sometimes the song clips for being too loud and the triangle feels out of place sometimes.
I think a lot more could have been done with the lower bagpipe. As is it just holds a single note for the entire song which isn't very interesting to listen to.
