Title A name given to the resource Assembly Operation Ceramic Stupa, 2017 Description An account of the resource This Stupa is made from 11 individual components and is modelled on the three stupas (pagodas) known as Three pools reflecting the moon, from the West Lake in Hangzhou, China. In performance, the 11 components are sounded as individual percussion instruments and gradually constructed to reveal this form, which is also featured on the one Yuan (RMB) note. Assembly Operation uses objects in performance to connect a multitude of interrelated ideas. These objects are simultaneously musical, visual and theatrical. Assembly Operation is a work born out of the Chinese one Yuan (RMB) note. All of the central concepts and imagery of the work can be traced back either metaphorically or literally to one side of the one Yuan note. Within the scene Three pools reflecting the moon there is a body of water, a bridge and three stone stupas (pagodas). Assembly Operation brings together three percussionists who form an assembly line to extract exquisite sound from three iconic representations of Chinese culture: paper, ceramics and low-fi electronics.

Title A name given to the resource Swan Bell sound sculpture, 2012 Description An account of the resource Playful, interactive and participatory public-space artworks, like the Federation Bells Carillon and Federation Handbells, are central to Hasell’s public art design practice. In shared spatial experience, they encourage people to listen to their own, and to others’, creative playfulness. This artwork, made from cast bronze (swan and bell) and copper (resonator), evokes memories for Hasell of the black swans on Pertobe Lake, Warrnambool, calling to one another in soft tones. Hasell invites visitors to the exhibition to “pull the neck of the Swan and the bronze harmonic bell will sound its plaintive call, just don’t blame me if you find yourself unusually noticed, even followed, by those swans you may come across in your travels.” Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Anton Hasell Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived On loan from the artist Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2012 Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context On loan from Anton Hasell https://omeka.cloud.unimelb.edu.au/grainger/files/original/86576d332b0ac34d54e45101e8aac3e1.jpg b89f83eba605949f9137174999fdd307 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource World’s First Harmonic Bell, 1999/2000 Description An account of the resource This is the world’s first harmonic bell ever made. The Melbourne Symphony Orchestra has a two-octave set of these bells that were produced for Australia’s Centenary of Federation celebrations in 2001 by Australian Bell Pty Ltd. The bell was cast in silicon bronze using modern resin sand casting techniques. The inside and outside profiles were formed in a sand mould by rotating laser cut steel profiles on turntables. This prototype is exactly as cast without any further tuning. It has the first seven frequencies in a harmonic series and is about one semitone sharper than the expected pitch of A3 (220 Hz). For further information, see N. McLachlan, A. Hasell, et al. (2003). The Design of Bells with Harmonic Overtones. Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 114 (1), p.505-511.

Title A name given to the resource Display of sound sculpture innovations by Anton Hasell Description An account of the resource This display includes Hasell's Twist bell, 2018/19. Hasell developed the twisted bell form using 3D digital modelling software. The more ‘free-form’ acoustic properties of the twist bell expose to our ears for the first-time resonant frequencies that abound in the Australian landscape. A large-scale twist bell, The Eel Bell, has recently been cast at Billmans Foundry, to be sited as a public sculpture on the Yarra River at Stonnington. Hasell's innovations in difference-tone acoustics are also explored in the exhibition, including a bell prototype for the Long Now 10,000 year clock project, and a tuning fork designed to resonate with the frequencies of the earth. https://omeka.cloud.unimelb.edu.au/grainger/files/original/7d09860bdd220e5d4a29d8078a87f970.JPG aed988daa5ddc8358550e1b41f4e0a9b Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource VCA Interactive Composition students in the Grainger Museum in the Living Instruments project 2019 Subject The topic of the resource Living Instruments; How it Plays: Innovations in Percussion Description An account of the resource The B.Music Interactive Composition students photographed here in the Grainger Museum are participating in the Living Instruments Project, an interdisciplinary collaboration that digitally preserves and transforms instruments in the Grainger Museum collection into playable virtual instruments for interactive display, public access and creative engagement. This project was funded by a Melbourne Engagement Grant, 2019. The project takes the relatively new area of virtual instrument design based on mapping ‘real’ instruments (via sampling their sound) to new tactile digital interfaces for re-use and creative application. The project engages with the unique and culturally valuable Grainger Museum instrument collection and brings contemporary sound making practices together with digital instrument design to create virtual Grainger instruments.

Title A name given to the resource Embroidered Chinese jacket belonging to Rose Grainger 对襟（马褂女版） Subject The topic of the resource domestic objects; clothing; shoes; Chinese material culture Description An account of the resource The wide variety of clothing reflects the diversity of culture in the nation during the Qing Dynasty. After the Manchu-Qing rulers from the north of the great wall seized the power in China, they assert authority over the dominant native Han Chinese population and established new dress codes. The robes of Manchu women differed from the clothing of the Han women. Two nations borrowed certain elements from each other and created a new type of garments. This embroidered Chinese Jacket is an example of this garment reform. The wide robe sleeves were a feature of typical Han women’s Clothing whilst the short length of the robe adopt from Manchurian culture. Royal blue embossed silk Chinese jacket with pink and gold silk braid and silk embroidery on black silk. Silk lining. Centre front opening with four gold-coloured metal buttons. The excellent condition of this garment suggests it may never have been worn.
