Title A name given to the resource Kangaroo-pouch Tone-tool Free Music experiment created by Percy Grainger and Burnett Cross, on display in the Grainger Museum, University of Melbourne Subject The topic of the resource Free Music Description An account of the resource This photograph shows the Grainger and Cross's Kangaroo Pouch Tone Tool Free Music machine installed in the Grainger Museum, probably in the late 1950s. The machine was not fully complete when it was installed, and Cross visited the Grainger Museum after Percy Grainger's death to complete the instrument so that it could make sound.

Title A name given to the resource Karlheinz Stockhausen: Telemusik/Mixtur, 1969, LP record, Deutsche Grammophon, Germany Subject The topic of the resource Electronic music Description An account of the resource The cover of the LP "Karlheinz Stockhausen: Telemusik/Mixtur", published in 1969 by Deutsche Grammophon, Germany. German composer Karlheinz Stockhausen (1928–2007), described as the ‘most controversial musical innovator of our time’, has influenced many musicians, inside and outside of the avant-garde music scene. Rock musicians including Frank Zappa, Peter Townshend, Jerry Garcia and Björk, and Jazz musicians including Miles Davis, George Russell, Anthony Braxton and Charles Mingus, all name Stockhausen as a major influence. The Beatles included a portrait of Stockhausen on the front cover of their album, Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, in 1967. Stockhausen visited Australia for ten days in April 1970. He gave concert-lectures on electronic music around the country, including three programs in Wilson Hall, at the University of Melbourne. Delivered through a battery of speakers, Stockhausen’s electronic music ‘transformed Wilson Hall into a vast and sometimes terrifying acoustic cave’, according to a local newspaper. Performances included his Telemusik (1966). The Grainger Centre electronic music enthusiasts, including Keith Humble, Ian Bonighton and Agnes Dodds, helped set up Wilson Hall with the electronic equipment. Stockhausen was apparently very demanding, and Wilson Hall was not the ideal venue, with not enough powerpoints for all the equipment.

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>.

Deagan to Percy Grainger, Chicago, 19 October 1916 Description An account of the resource Grainger enjoyed ‘liberty of the factory’ of J.C. Deagan, as he worked closely with the instrument maker to develop instruments specific to the new orchestral timbres he was seeking to create. In this letter, Deagan writes to Grainger regarding the latter’s search for ‘low tones’ to enrich the tuned percussion ensemble. Grainger’s requests for lower sounding marimbas never really materialized but his desire to include these bass extensions foretells the age of the five octave marimbas that are popular today.
