Nursery rhymes have recently become a much more prominent part of my day-to-day life: a not unexpected development when you have a four-month-old son. :) I don't, however, see why they should always be quite so staid and boring -- or, for that matter, distressingly cheerful. Out of these thoughts, then, came this piece -- an electronic rendition of "Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree", put into a minor key for fun and profit.

I should, of course, also note that Ben, Ariel, and I have our own special version of the lyrics:

Benedict sits on his daddy's knee,
counting all the monkeys he can see.
"None! Daddy, there are none!
Daddy there are no monkeys here but me!"

Old Gum Tree

I write music for games and videos, but mainly I write music just for fun. I release most of my tracks under a Creative Commons license, so you're free to do all sorts of things with them. ;)
