FIRE from RHYTHMS_ (Live) by MAS_

MAS_ are Melbourne Amplified Strings - a collective of contemporary string players exploring electronic affects, live looping and amplification of different stringed instruments.

MAS_ program four unique concerts per year collaborating with guest vocalists, instrumentalists and visual artists.

In 2019, MAS_ presented RHYTHMS_ - their winter concert featuring Xani Kolac (violin/vocals), Anita Quayle (cello) and Richard Vaudrey (cello/vocals). They also collaborated with RnB vocalist Thando. This show was recorded and filmed at The Toff In Town.

MAS_ presented a suite of new works called RHYTHMS and this album is a live recording of the four-part suite:

WIND
WATER
EARTH
FIRE

MAS began in early 2018 by 2 incredibly influential instrumentalists and composers from
Melbourne’s music scene. Xani Kolac - Violin and Anita Quayle - Cello.
Their vision is simple….. to reinvent and reinvigorate the way traditional classical instruments are heard, by blending and utilising effects and live looping into originally composed and improvised musical material.
