BIOGRAPHY
Shueh-li traveled from Australia; her birth country .. sowed musical seeds in Singapore, and sojourned several cities before laying her proverbial hat down in America.
In an indie career that has spanned three albums and countless shows, Shueh-li is best known for layering the theremin, tin-whistle, guqin, exotic synth and vocal lines, to create bombastic productions. She has written and produced everything from love songs to fusion-pop, theatrical soundscapes to prog-rock!
Shueh-li is Singapore’s 1st and only diva of the theremin and Moog artist; she plays the sci-fi instrument where precision hand gestures move in proximity to two antennas without touching them.
To describe Shueh-li as exotic and esoteric is asking you to belief before you have tasted the fruit, so a few words from those who know;
“A truly amazing talent; informed, professional, warm, diverse, exciting, inspiring.” Arts Monthly Australia.
“Drawing on traditional, classical and contemporary influences, Ong's music combines diverse melodies and intricate rhythms that fuse folk, jazz and avant-garde influences with electronics into a sound that is all her own.” Synth Music and Electronics USA
“An inspired artist with a solid background who has brought fresh ideas in the theremin field.” ThereminVox Italy
Her last album "Xing Paths", written under the Xenovibes name was rate 'A' by the Singapore Business Times. Her solo projects include "A Working Title - special editions".
