Perpetually curious, Mary has spent 20 years studying and performing all kinds of music. She started in classical cello, moved on to jazz double bass, became obsessed with improvisational constructs, moved to Korea to study p’ansori singing, and just recently finished a doctorate for which she combined acoustics science and improvised music. This background informs her solo cello playing which features hypnotic, dream-like soundscapes, and no holds barred improvisation.

MP Hopkins is a sound artist and musician working on Wangal land in Sydney, Australia. He uses voice, feedback, recording/playback devices, and text scores within different acoustic environments, which are deconstructed and presented to the listener in delicate and degraded ways.
"Crystalline and towering in its architectural ballast, 'Misting' is Hopkins' most intriguing and urbane episode to date."
