Methodology
First of all, I am Argentine, I am using google and my girlfriend as translators, so I hope there are not many inconsistencies.

DAW:
reaper

Composition:
Every instrument line is set in a different time signature. The melody and double bass lines are both in 7/4, but the melody reappears every 13 beats, causing a small offset every time it comes back. woodwinds are in 1/4, Horns are in 2/4 (Frankenstain's walk), violins and violas 3/4, brass winds 4/4

For this to fit perfectly at the end, 84 measures (least common multiple of the different time signatures) should have passed if I remember correctly, so I cut it and used the final half o the measures (42) so that the song is not so extensive and all the lines in different signatures converge at the end.

I wanted generate something amorphous through the composition, with a structure like Frankenstein, and simulate the persecution that Frankenstein does to the doctor in the original book.

instrumentation:
everything is done with BBC orchestra except for some WOSH or risers.

This is incredibly atmospheric – bloody well done! I loved the sense of off-kilter, desperate lumbering.

Wow! I really liked how you used multiple time signatures to convey the literal composition of the Frankenstein's monster. Great job!
