A dark version of Waltzing Matilda from the experimental album, Tree Of Keys. Soundscapes, sound poems, tone poems, ekphrastic music; however you want to describe the music on the album, it is, of all things, creative, imaginative, eclectic.

Many of the works on Tree of Keys were created to a theme for ArtsLab, an arts radio programme for RedShift Radio, which was produced and presented by Mark. Throughout 2017, each episode consisted wholly of new material which was created and sent into the programme each week by a small band of dedicated artists and listeners. This format demanded forty minutes or so of new work each week, and became a spark for creativity that exploded into all sorts of interesting directions.
