Artists

Decibel are a new music ensemble that focus on the integration of acoustic and electronic instruments in chamber music performance, and are world-leading interpreters of graphic notations and pioneer digital score formats for composition and performance.

This includes the ongoing development of their successful Decibel ScorePlayer App for iPad, enabling coordinated performance of graphic notations for musicians and composers internationally. Whilst rooted in western art music tradition, Decibel aim to remove stylistic boundaries in their commissioning and performance approaches, which focus on the combination of acoustic and electronic sounds. Since their foundation in Western Australia in 2009, Decibel have commissioned over 100 new works, released 12 albums and toured around the world.
