This beautiful synth song is based on a classic Australian folk song. Matilda is a euphemism for "bags" and traveling on foot, so this is like a theme tune for drifters of all kinds. I just choose to equate it all with a beautiful maiden and interpret the song title literally. :)
The artist is an immensely talented painter by the name of Franz Xaver Winterhalter. Google that and wiki him if you want more info about original artist.
@stephenyatesacoustic it's exquisite isn't it? So beautiful and so incredibly enchanting like so much classic electronic that just defines me as a person. Franz Xaver Winterhalter is the artist, incredible stuff yes? I'll update the description for you art lovers and people who want more info.

What a fascinating arrangement. I love that painting by the way. What is it and who's the artist?
