“I guess the key thing to understand about my music is that I’m not interested in pulse. And I’m really interested aleatoric processes, especially around pitch.”
Cat Hope’s practice spans many different styles. She’s active in noise music, grunge, slowcore and experimentation. Whilst in Western Australia, her work with Decibel ensemble has had an undeniable impact on the shape and sound of experimental music in this region. Now in Melbourne, Cat was recently appointed Head of the Sir Zelman Cowen School of Music at Monash. Before she left WA she caught up with Leah Blankendaal in her North Perth home to talk life, politics, and practice.
