2 (2018, EP)by Xani
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.
