This campaign is to raise money to commission Cat Hope to write a new piece for the NOW flute Ensemble. The World Premier Performance to take place at the 2015 Australian Flute Festival as part of the program 'TRIPLE F - Fellowship, Feminism and the Future' .

WHO ARE NOW FLUTES?
The NOW Flutes ensemble brings together a group of fearless professional flautists across Australia who are champions of contemporary music and devoted to pushing the boundaries of performance.  They come together with sense of collegiality and a passion for exploring and sharing the latest styles, techniques and musical concepts in flute playing from around the world. The players include: Lamorna Nightingale, Janet McKay, Laila Engle, Melanie Walters, Lina Andonovska, Christine Draeger, Mel Coleman, Peter Sheriden, Sophie Weston. Jodie Rottle, Elia Bosshard, Angus McPherson, Jane Duncan, Cat Hope and Kiri Sollis. 

THIS IS OUR NEXT PROGRAM
At the 2015 Australian Flute Festival we will present a program entitled 'TRIPLE F - Fellowship, Feminism and the Future'. This program explores the full spectrum of the flute sonority and showcases the work of women composers who are innovative, inspirational and adventurous. 

THIS IS WHAT the POZIBLE CAMPAIGN IS FOR 
This Pozible campaign is to raise money to commission Perth based musician, composer, songwriter, sound and performance artist, Cat Hope to write a piece for the NOW Flute Ensemble. As a classically trained flautist, improviser, experimental bassist and composer, we feel Cat will create a piece that will challenge and inspire us. 

HER POCKETS FULL OF INERTIA
Cat will write a 5-7 minute work, 'her pockets full of inertia' which will receive its World Premiere performance at AFF 2015.
The piece will be for a group of alto, bass and sub contra bass flutes. Using a mobile graphic score, the work will explore the creation of a downward directed drone made of many unique threads, the strange similarity in nature of breath and am radio static, and the idea of 'envelope. These ideas unfold in way that relates to phrases of a poem of the same name by Claire Gaskin.

The money we raise for this project will be paid directly to the composer Cat Hope.
