VOLUMINUM is a program celebrating the centenary of the birth of Hungarian composer György Ligeti.

Opera composition and direction. Speechless is a 70-minute opera for 4 soloists, community choir and Bass orchestra. It is a wordless, animated notation opera intended as a personal response to the 2014 Human Rights Commission report ‘The Forgotten Children: National Inquiry into Children in Immigration Detention’.

Bass noise performance. Super Luminum is an improvised electric and bass guitar duo featuring Cat Hope and Lisa MacKinney. Their music has an aesthetic characterised by an unhurried approach to the gradual unfolding of ideas and the constructive employment of stasis as a compositional philosophy, creating loud, euphoric, swirling textures that often feature exploratory playing techniques and incorporate feedback, noise and experimental tonalities.

Flute performance. This solo piece for bass flute and alto flute was commissioned by Carriageworks and Room 40 for Cat Hope. It was premiered at Open Frame in Sydney at Carriageworks in 2018. Eliane Radigue is one of the most important French composers alive today.
