A piano and tin whistle couple in quiet contemplation, leading to a theremin and orchestra fury before ending with prog-pop energy. All in the hands of Australian-born Singapore recording artist, Shueh-li Ong.

When the Singapore Business Times remarked that “Shueh-li isn't a one-trick pony" they had a inkling of more exciting moments still to emerge from this multi-instrumentalist, composer and producer. If you are familiar with her work with Xenovibes, then you would probably have witnessed the show which is the representative style of her classical-music tech training in deep conversation with her Australian-Asian heritage.

This small but dynamic lady could sing you a beautiful song before launching into some prog-fusion number leaving you wondering what other tricks she has up her sleeve. “Shueh-li is a truly amazing talent; informed, professional, warm, diverse, exciting, inspiring." said Arts Monthly Australia.

Shueh-li (pronounced Shelley) continues to respond to what her fans expect; that she push her envelope. “Leave Me In Stasis" is the 3rd single since her move to Nashville last year to begin a new chapter in her musical adventure. This instrumental piece highlights the theremin and tin whistle in solo, and guest features fellow keyboardist and well known figure in the prog music world, Tom Brislin, on piano.

“Singapore's 1st & only diva of the theremin" (a title given by the Straits Times) is often likened to self produced artists Kate Bush, Janet Jackson and Ryuichi Sakamoto.
