really excellent job.  your music adds so much to the film.  just curious, how much work time does this represent?  there are so many moving parts.  also if you could upload your felted piano to fxp corner that would be great.

From beginning to end, it took about 8 days, approximately 2 - 4 hours each day.  Writing it took up the bulk of the time, about 6 days.

Having trouble uploading but I'll try

Thanks for listening.  I'm glad you liked it!

Nicely done!

So, please explain - is this a competition with a movie and a narration, but without any music, for which the task is to write the music?

That's quite different without your score.  Pretty weird, actually, as a silent flick with this over-dramatized narration, and no sound-effects whatsoever.

You've done a superb job with your scoring!
