The song’s reference to ‘0.618’ cleverly nods to the Fibonacci sequence, with the lyrics “I stand in the eye of the spiral,” introducing a touch of mathematical intrigue to Eurovision. Electric Fields’ inclusion of the golden ratio in their performance is both artistic and intellectually engaging, a refreshing addition to the Eurovision repertoire.

Photos from the rehearsal are forthcoming, capturing the essence of Electric Fields’ dazzling Eurovision debut.

The entire presentation evolves into an uplifting cosmic explosion of light and color across the LED wall and floor, featuring the dynamic inclusion of cubes. Zaachariaha is joined by Michael Ross on keyboards, two backing singers, and the distinctive sound of the didgeridoo. The performance’s energetic choreography and stage presence create an atmosphere of pure joy, aiming to welcome every corner of the arena into the celebration. Notably, Electric Fields introduces Yankunytjatjara, an Aboriginal language, into the Eurovision canon, celebrating Australia’s rich cultural heritage on a global stage.
