Shade Away/Nina/Ornament | Electric Fields | TEDxMelbourne

Electric Fields, as will become swiftly obvious, are a truly transcendent pairing - a living convergence of musicality, culture and gender that yields remarkably fluid and infectious arrangements that straddle multiple worlds. The songs often feature Fielding's traditional languages of the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara people …while their vocal work ricochets between delicacy and devastating power Electric Fields is a potent new music bringing together the brilliance and creativity of music producer and composer Michael Ross, with the mesmerising sensitivity of Zaachariaha Fielding - whose rare and beautiful voice has been described as 'taking soul to the stratosphere'. These two feminine brothers are creating a striking and memorable merging of living traditional culture with electronic music. Co-creating music and delivering a memorable live performance - Electric Fields bring moments of breathtaking beauty and power to the stage. Often featuring Zaachariaha's traditional language of the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara people, Electric Fields music ranges from soulful pop to epic-scale electronic works, through to intensely intimate story-songs This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

So good that this duo is in the national competition "Eurovision - You decide" - so we get the chance here in Europe to discover such good music from "down under" .....thank you Electric Fields - that you are in the contest ♥♥♥ - Love from Germany to you guys.

I'm beyond blown away!!! The talent, the music, their voices. New devoted fan. Good luck at Australia decides!!!

[@taniaphillips9766]

Eurovision You Decide did two things - it brought Kate back into the public eye and it brought these guys into clear focus. Someone commented that after years of sending slick pop performances we finally said stuff it and joined the weird and wonderful but it is more that the world finally got to see our diversity - please please enter again the world needs to see you and us in all our diversity and colour.

Ok, I'm blown away by their talent. I wasn't sure about "Electric Fields" but after watching this, I'm pretty sure they can perform it well live. Now I wouldn't mind it if they represent Australia in Eurovision 2019.
