Decibel, performing The Talking Board at Totally Huge New Music Festival 2011
Cat Hope’s practice covers a wide variety of forms and styles, from rock and noise music to contemporary classical composition and gallery installation. In 2009 she started the new music ensemble Decibel which has rapidly proven itself to be a unique contribution to the Australian musical landscape, exploring the combination of electronics, digital technology and acoustic instruments.
Hope says of piece The Talking Board, composed with Lindsay Vickery, that “each player has their own ‘planchette’—a coloured circle enclosing the materials that they must perform. The four planchettes are programmed to independently traverse the graphically notated score creating a progression of material for the performers to realise, including the spatialisation and processing of the acoustic instruments.”

Composer: Lindsay Vickery and Cat Hope

Dale Gorfinkel performing at the Out Hear Festival 2011
Dale Gorfinkel is a multi-instrumentalist, improvisor, instrument builder, installation artist and educator. He is interested in finding fresh ways of presenting and making music. These include outdoors, across artforms, and inter-cultural and inter-generational contexts. He brings creative communities together & shifts perceived boundaries of scenes, styles & artforms.
Gorfinkel states “This track is from a performance as part of the Out Hear Festival at Footscray Community Arts Centre November 2011. The festival featured sound installations and performances by artists Joyce Hinterding, Ross Manning, Riki-Metisse Marlow, Anthony Magen, Matt Chaumont, Ernie Althoff and myself as FCAC artist-in-residence. On this recording I am playing a radically modified trumpet along with my installation of a ‘footpump powered brassband’ consisting of many meters of tubes connected to automated tuba, trombone and trumpet attached to the top of flag poles at FCAC. It is a non-electric version of surround sound. In the background you can hear another of my installations, automated kinetic sculptures called ‘boubbly boubblies’, as well as the sounds of industrial footscray, transport, birds and echoes from various walls more than 50 meters away. Through Out Hear I hope to encourage a culture of listening, sound and music in outdoor and unconventional spaces. www.outhear.com
