Elysian Fields: Australia’s only electric viola da gamba band

Elysian Fields was formed by Jenny Eriksson, Matt Keegan and Matt McMahon in 2015. The band is an ongoing experiment in creating new improvised and composed repertoire for the electric viola da gamba - of which Eriksson is believed to be the only Australian exponent.

The backbone of Elysian Field’s set list consists of original works written specifically for the line-up by Matt McMahon, Matt Keegan, Jenny Eriksson and founding bassist, Siebe Pogson, along with arrangements and originals by Susie Bishop and, more recently, Dave Goodman. The band’s covers range widely from Eriksson’s unique arrangements of several songs by Marin Marais, the greatest 17th century French gamba player and composer, to charts and folk song arrangements by Susie Bishop and Jenny Eriksson reflecting Jenny’s Scandinavian heritage, to the likes of Swedish jazz/fusion guitarist, Mats Norrefalk, e.s.t. and Norwegian pianist/composer, Jan Gunnar Hoff. More recent commissions include works by renowned Australian composer, Gordon Kerry, and Alice Chance.

Elysian Fields is:

Susie Bishop – vocals and violin

Matt Keegan – saxophones

Matt McMahon – piano

Jenny Eriksson - electric viola da gamba

Jacques Emery – double bass

Dave Goodman - drums

"It’s the quality of the music – a compelling mixture of Scandinavian folk, classical and jazz influences – that really compels… It’s a wonder and a pleasure to watch a band able to conjure such a dark, introspective feeling in the room." (Jacob Stone, Limelight Magazine)
