Title A name given to the resource Portable harmonium (reed organ) Subject The topic of the resource Instruments Description An account of the resource Wood, ivory, felt, metal. Grainger wrote in 1929, ‘If I were forced to choose one instrument only for chamber music – I would choose the harmonium (reed-organ) without hesitation; for it seems to me the most sensitively and intimately expressive of all instruments… No other chord-giving instrument is so capable of extreme and exquisitely controlled pianissimo… Both in chamber-music and in the orchestra it provides the ideal background to the individualistic voices of the woodwinds.’ This portable harmonium was probably used by Grainger for Free Music experiments, as some of the keys have been adjusted and there is string tied to some of the black keys.

Title A name given to the resource Kangaroo pouch tone-tool Subject The topic of the resource Free Music Description An account of the resource Steel, brass, PVC pipe, paper roll, sewing machine belt, electronics. This machine demonstrates the method used by Grainger and Cross to control oscillators through the use of connected ‘tone arms’ and cut paper ‘scores’. Whereas Grainger and Cross hand-turned their eight oscillator tone-tool, this scaled-down version is operated by a hand crank that enables the looping score to be played in either direction. Here, a digital oscillator created using the Arduino electronics platform and the Mozzi software library is controlled using two paper rolls in the shape of Grainger’s ‘Hills and Dales’ scores. One roll controls the pitch of the oscillator while the other controls the volume level.

Title A name given to the resource Reed box tone-tool Subject The topic of the resource Free Music Description An account of the resource Steel, brass, wood, accordion reeds, blower fans, linear bearings. In their original Reed box experiments, Grainger and Cross approximated the effect of gliding musical pitches by using closely-spaced microtones. They detuned harmonium reeds to microtonal intervals, using tape to weight the reeds. They then used a wooden waveform on rollerskates to control the motion of air from a vacuum cleaner blowing through the reeds. Cross later introduced electronic oscillators to create smoother gliding tones. This scaled-down version uses accordion reeds, also detuned by tape. Blower fans take the place of the vacuum cleaner and linear bearings streamline the design.

Title A name given to the resource Electric eye tone-tool Subject The topic of the resource Free Music Description An account of the resource Steel, PVC pipe, plastic sheet, globes, ink, electronics, speakers. One of Grainger and Cross’s last experiments before Grainger’s death in 1961 was an attempt to create a more immediate and accurate form of Free Music through the use of hand-drawn waveforms and light-sensitive circuits. This experiment used photocells (light-dependent resistors) rather than paper rolls and tone arms to translate pitch and volume markings, painted on plastic sheet, into sound. The original machine, never fully completed, was eventually disassembled after Grainger’s death. This reinterpretation also uses light-dependent resistors but connects them to digital Teensy microcontrollers loaded with the Mozzi software library. The addition of the hand crank enables the looped ‘score’ to be played forwards and backwards.

Photo: 28.6 x 21.7 cm Parchment/Velum Paper?: 45.5 x 41.1 cm Board: 64 x 51.1 cm Baron Adolph Sigismund de Meyer is seen by many as the founder of fashion photography. Later in his career he was to work for both Vogue and Harpers Bazaar. In London he moved comfortably in the highest levels of society and photographed many of the celebrities he met. His style—strongly influenced by Tonalist and Impressionist painting—was extremely fashionable at the turn of the century. He would manipulate negatives and prints and often use a soft focus lens. Detail was stripped away and the quality of light on surfaces, as well as the modulation of shadows, was almost as important to his style as depicting the sitter.

He lavished Grainger with expensive gifts and invited him to play at his many fashionable parties, paying him handsomely, an uncommon gesture among aristocrats. Emerging musicians were usually expected to play for no fee, with the exposure to potential patrons considered payment enough.
