In a very special event, Decibel New Music Ensemble will perform Cat Hope’s work Sub Decorative Sequences with special guest Lionel Marchetti.
Inspired by the decorative elements of Linden’s interior and exterior design, Hope has created graphic scores to be performed by the ensemble in the gallery space. Featuring a cello, viola, bass clarinet, bass flute, percussion and electronics, this concert is part of their #Db10at10 celebration year.
About the artists
Cat Hope is a composer, sound artist, performer, song writer and noise artist. She is classically trained flautist, self-taught vocalist and experimental bassist who plays as a soloist and as part of other groups. Her music is conceptually driven, exploring the physicality of sound in different media, using graphic scores, acoustic /electronic combinations, aleatoric elements, drones, noise and glissandi.
