Jamie Fielding

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jamie Fielding (1960 - 1993) was an Australian pianist, composer, and experimental musician.

Fielding began his music career as a jazz musician, but later became interested in electronic music, working extensively with a Yamaha DX-7 synthesiser. He performed in Michael Sheridan's Slaughter House 3 ensemble, and with various Sydney musicians, such as pianist Chris Abrahams. Fielding died in a train accident, aged 32. In 1991 Fielding had recorded the Extinkt LP, with Guy Maddison (bass, trombone), Sybilla (vocals), Peter Harvey (drums), Jon Evans (tapes), Michael Sheridan (guitar), and John Murphy (synth). The CD was released posthumously on the Dr Jims label. A triple CD overview of Fielding's music, Notes From The Underground was compiled by Michael Sheridan and Martin Jackson, and released on the Australian Independent Jazz Artist label.
