Title A name given to the resource Society for the Private Performance of New Music manifesto, and concert flyers Subject The topic of the resource Music performances Description An account of the resource In 1966 Humble established the Society for the Private Performance of New Music (SPPNM) at the Grainger Museum. SPPNM members, mostly young composers such as Ian Bonighton, met monthly at the Grainger, for ‘performance workshops’ directed by Humble. Both traditional and contemporary music was played, including participants’ own compositions. According to Humble, all the music was performed “in a ‘discovery’ kind of way, with a commitment made individually toward a musical event - a ‘composition’”. The SPPNM performed Grainger’s innovative aleatoric (chance) piece, Random Round on the 21st May 1967, in a program that included Morton Feldman’s Vertical Thoughts III, and Edgar Varese’s Density 21.5.

Title A name given to the resource Les Craythorn realising Percy Grainger’s Free Music on the Synthi 100 Subject The topic of the resource Electronic Music Description An account of the resource 35mm slide, Grainger Museum Archive, 99.600.1 In 1976, ABC Television made a documentary about Grainger’s Free Music experiments, interviewing Burnett Cross, who was visiting the Grainger Museum in order to restore Percy Grainger’s Kangaroo Pouch Tone Tool in 1976. To give viewers of the documentary an aural understanding of Grainger’s Free Music 1, University of Melbourne technician, Les Craythorn, took on the challenge of realising Grainger’s graphic score on the EMS Synthi 100 synthesizer. The cross-over from Grainger’s graphic score to electronic sound was extremely complex, and Craythorn worked 16 hours a day, for three days, to make the realisation. Craythorn made a sync track on the 8-track tape recorder (2,400 steps), and used the tape sync to control the sequencer. Syncing and DATA entry was very accurate but very tedious. Craythorn said of this experience: “I was experimenting with the [Synthi 100’s] extensive sonic capabilities, microtonal tuning and seamless glissandos that you hear demonstrated in Percy Grainger’s Free Music.” Craythorn’s realisation of Free Music 1 was played to an engrossed audience on 23 March 1976, at the 1976 Percy Grainger Lecture. <br /><br />A short film made by the ABC about Craythorn's work and Grainger's experimentation, <em>Percy Grainger's Synthesisers,&nbsp;</em><a title="ABC Classic Percy Graingers Synthesizers" href="https://youtu.be/tYAaHG4cRkA">can be accessed through uTube courtesy ABC Classic</a>.

Title A name given to the resource Tristram Cary, Divertimento: for Olivetti machines, chorus and percussion Subject The topic of the resource Music score Description An account of the resource Manuscript score, Rare Music, Special Collections, University of Melbourne Divertimento is an example of British composer Tristram Cary’s combination of electronic compositional techniques, including recorded sound, electronic sounds, and traditional acoustic sound in live performance. Cary wrote of this piece: “In 1973 the huge Italian business machine manufacturer Olivetti (headquarters in Milan) planned a grand opening for their new training centre at Haslemere, Surrey... Since they wanted an unmistakable Olivetti element in the concert, I was commissioned to write a piece incorporating the sounds of their business machines, which ranged from small typewriters to large and noisy machines for various purposes.” Cary gathered the sounds in Olivetti's London showroom with a Nagra tape recorder, a mixer and microphones. He then transformed the machine noises with his electronic equipment at his private studio, including softening the sounds, and using them both at normal speed and considerably slowed down. Cary came to Australia to live in the following year. He made a short version of the piece (without voices) called Tracks from Divertimento, for use on a LP record of new Australian computer music. This LP, Full Spectrum (1978), is seen here in this display. Full Spectrum included a realisation of Grainger’s Free Music made on the Music V system at the Conservatorium of Music, University of Melbourne, two years after Les Craythorn first realised the score on the EMS Synthi 100.
