How does your piece use the motif?
Most phrases are derived from it somehow but you do have to listen closely most of the time. I think it's clearest in the intro, chorus and end of the loop however.
What tools did you use? (DAW, instruments, sample libraries, etc.)
For this one I just used MuseScore though, because this kind of film music is nicer to write in sheet music is I think.
Usually I use Reaper and record bass, guitar and percussion myself.

This is a nice orchestration! I really like how you composed this song using derivatives/bits of the motif to then build towards a final segment that defines itself with the motif well! Well done!
Very impressive!
I love hearing little snippets of the motif all throughout the track it makes the whole thing feel very cohesive and well put together!
I like the orchestration. It is a very pleasant song to listen to.
I liked your transformation of the motif a lot! The transition at 1:30ish was quite jarring, not sure if that was intentional or not
If you meant at 0:30 then yeah, I messed up a bit. I only noticed after submission, that the flute part and the other instruments have weird accents. Where the flute has some octave and fifths jumps, everything that plays rhythm has accents on the beats where the flute plays the lower note. That made it sound a bit weird bc higher notes naturally stand out ofc. But thank you it was very fun to make :)
The file I downloaded had a bit of a break at 1:30 and then seems to go into a different strain, might just be a file mix-up though. I didn't notice anything at 0:30 so no worries there!
