Title A name given to the resource Beijing silk figure 北京绢人 Description An account of the resource DESCRIPTION: Female doll wearing ornate silk chinese costume. Pink top, purple skirt with embroidery. Elaborate beaded headdress. Size: 29 x 9 x 8cm INSCRIPTIONS: On base "Made in China" and "4/6" OVERVIEW: This Chinese Doll is a unique traditional Chinese doll called ‘Juan ren’. The doll making technique originated in the Tang dynasty and classified as an intangible cultural heritage in China. Many of the doll making techniques were lost and only a few craftsmen are capable of making this type of silk doll. One of the key elements for this type of doll is that the appearance and costume are made based on Characters in Chinese opera or folklore.

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 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/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 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/76b49c2ef3c8a2a89a91e78e54cd8acf.jpg d50d91899ac5012bd325cb5cdd494400 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 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 Reflection 2004 Description An account of the resource Elaine Miles is an artist with a 25-year career that revolves around the ancient craft of glass making. For over 15-years Miles has embraced an intuitive approach to exploring the potential of glass as sound material (or as a source of ‘free’ form melody). Miles’ hand-blown glass has been heard and seen in exhibitions, recordings and live performances nationally and internationally. Arguably the most significant collaboration of Miles’ career has been with Speak Percussion’s Director, percussionist and composer Eugene Ughetti. Miles and Ughetti collaborated from 2005 to 2010 under the name The Glass Percussion Project (GPP), with an evolution built alongside and intertwined with Ughetti’s involvement with Speak Percussion. These hand-blown glass gongs were first played by musicians in Elaine’s lounge room in 2004. They were arranged into Balinese Pelog scales and resonated with sounds like Gamelans. When Eugene Ughetti first saw the glass gongs at Miles’ home in 2005, he conceptualised a different approach to how the gongs could be sounded. This was realised through the following years of Miles’ and Ughetti’s collaboration. When the gongs were played as part of The Glass Percussion Project, Ughetti brought a strong interest in what he called “new tuning systems”.

Title A name given to the resource Musical glass created by Percy Grainger, c.1930s Description An account of the resource This is one of the musical glasses created by Percy Grainger for performances of his Tribute to Foster. In performance, most of the glasses were filled to a marked line with liquid, to sound at a specific pitch. Ella Grainger painted the tuning lines on the glasses with black oil paint. A few of the glasses, including this large blue vase marked for playing by Ella, produced the desired pitch without the need for water. This instrument is formed from 5cm-thick glass, attached to large sheets of cardboard with green string and sticking plaster. It has handwrittten "C# for Mrs. Percy Grainger to play."
