Each of them inhabits what the composer herself describes as a ‘nexus of electronic and acoustic instruments, animated notations, drone and noise’ and although all of them might be described as chamber music, none of them is a chamber work in the classical sense of music for an exclusively acoustic instrumental ensemble.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstead, in each case the sonic resources of acoustic instruments are located within a musical frame that includes other elements: sometimes, as in Cruel and Usual, the live electronics extend the sounds of the instruments; sometimes the sounds created by the musicians are augmented by, or juxtaposed with other sound sources, such as the AM radio static in Miss Fortune X.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e– Christopher Fox\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 208px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=1133845403\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/artwork=none\/transparent=true\/\" seamless\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/decibelnewmusic.bandcamp.com\/album\/ephemeral-rivers-studio-album\"\u003eEphemeral Rivers [studio album] by Music by Cat Hope performed by Decibel new music ensemble\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Direct","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44286191665334,"sku":null,"price":19.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0525\/9119\/8390\/files\/a3190860201_10.jpg?v=1758256462","url":"https:\/\/repressedrecords.com\/products\/cat-hope-ephemeral-rivers-chamber-works-cd","provider":"Repressed Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
