This was part of Mariko's 2009 Diploma 1 submission for composition at the Australian Institute of Music. Diploma 1 is the first semester of study there, and is mostly aimed at people who have had little to no formal musical training. Mariko's musical knowledge was still very limited at the time of this piece. When Mariko was in Diploma 1, she had rather unstructured one-on-one lessons which allowed freedom to do whatever, but she didn't have the skills to do much with it.
This particular piece was an attempt at writing something for music theatre. It is based on the dagger scene of Macbeth.
Another version of this video is available on DestroyerMariko's channel. It has lyrics and a description written closer to the time of its composition.
