Third wave
Rosalind Appleby, a music journalist, in her book, "Women of Note: the Rise of Australian Women Composers" (2012), addressed the work of Hope in the chapter, "Third wave 1980-2010: Cathie Travers and Cat Hope". In honour of Roger Smalley, who died in August 2015, Hope directed Decibel, to reinvigorate his works, which had been "performed in the pioneering electro-acoustic ensemble Intermodulation", for a concert in June 2016. "The West Australian"s Appleby observed, "[they] brought the little-known repertoire back to life. Their concert... paid fascinating homage to Smalley."
