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’. Co-writing music and delivering an evocative and memorable live performance experience with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, Electric Fields bring moments of breath-taking beauty and power to the stage. Often featuring Zaachariaha’s traditional languages of the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara people, Electric Fields music ranges from soulful pop to epic-scale electronic works, through to intensely intimate story-songs.
In 2022, award-winning electronic music duo Electric Fields made their orchestral debut featuring their original compositions and traditional inma songs with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra as part of NAIDOC week.
In 2023, Electric Fields returned to Hamer Hall for a special encore performance that’s guaranteed to get the audience to their feet for the second year running. The MSO and Electric Fields performed the duo’s work with their music, including some new songs for this performance, arranged for orchestra by Alex Turley, Melbourne Symphony Orchestra . Electric Fields also performed We the People, the official theme song of the 2023 Sydney World Pride to a crowd of 20,000 people at the Opening Concert at the Domain in Sydney.
The duo’s music, described as ‘emotionally moving and breath-taking’, combines pop, soul and electronica with intimate storytelling. Zaachariaha‘s extraordinary vocals often include the traditional languages of the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara people as Z channels a performance unlike any other.
They have performed over 100 shows around the world, including invitations to play festivals in Poland, Germany, Indonesia, Malaysia, New Zealand, China. Multiple tracks from their EP have been picked up for soundtracks for films, television and promotions for major festivals – with two songs appearing on the Australian feature film Top End Wedding, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2019. Four of their tracks also feature in the film Blak Divas.
