Cat Hope is an Australian composer, musician and professor of music at Monash University, Melbourne. She is a classically trained flautist, self taught vocalist, bassist and is the artistic director of Decibel new music ensemble – a group that focuses on combining acoustic and electronic instruments. Her composition practice engages graphic, animated notation, but she is also a improvisor, noise artist, songwriter and curator. She is a Civitella Ranieri, Churchill and Hamburg Institute for Advance Studies Fellow, and an advocate for collaboration, activism, archives and gender diversity. Her 2017 monograph CD ‘Ephemeral Rivers’ (Hat[Art]Hut) won the German Record Critics prize that year, when Gramophone magazine called her “one of Australia’s most exciting and individual creative voices.” She is the co-author of ‘Digital Art – An introduction to New Media (Bloomsbury, 2014), and co-editor of both ‘Contemporary Musical Virtuosities (Routledge, 2024) and ‘Action Remarks – John Cage’s Variations’ book and CD (Mode, 2024).
