"Statum and Time" is the first collection of long-form improvised instrumental tracks made exclusively for the #xanimakes subscription project. This music is just for you, subscribers!
On the fourth day of each month, Xani drops a new quality crafter long-form track. These tracks are woven together live in studio, born out of improvisations and completely instrumental.
The #xanimakes project has become a way for Xani to get back to her roots as a violinist. Xani's early work with The Twoks was predominantly instrumental and involved the creation of epic, cinematic soundscapes. (The Twoks' LP "Sailing Away" was testament to this way of playing.)
Xani has recreated and reimagined this early approach to violin-music by including a more eclectic and vast array of electronic effects with live looping. The music begins with the essence of her earlier work, but is transformed by her evolution and growth over the past decade.
This first drop is a reflection on Xani's childhood holidays along the Great Ocean Road listening to Martin Hayes (Irish violinist) in the car with her family.
This collection includes three new tracks:
I. Engines
II. Limestone
III. Deep Sea Creatures (dropping June 4th)
This collection goes very nicely with a cup of herbal tea or a warming glass of Tempranillo. Carve out a little time for yourself to get nostalgic and warm up your inner glow.
Enjoy.
