Title A name given to the resource Percy Grainger with Dr Earle Kent, and ‘Dr Kent’s Electronic Music Box’, Subject The topic of the resource Percy Grainger with Dr Earle Kent, and ‘Dr Kent’s Electronic Music Box’, Description An account of the resource Percy Grainger with Dr Earle Kent, and ‘Dr Kent’s Electronic Music Box’, USA, c.1951 Reproduction from original 35 mm slide Grainger Museum Archive, 99.6700.1 With his Free Music experiments conducted through the 1940s and 1950s, Grainger had also been searching for ways of producing new sonic environments. He made contact with Dr Earle Kent, an expert in acoustic research who had just completed his PhD in the field at the University of Michigan. Grainger went to Elkhart, Indiana, where Kent ran a Research Engineering Department for the Conn Company, to see Kent’s Electronic Music Box in 1951. Kent’s machine was an analogue ‘beat frequency’ vacuum tube-based synthesizer controlled by a punched paper strip device, similar to the pianola paper reader that Grainger used with his Duo-Art pianola Free Music experiments. Grainger was apparently unsatisfied with the possibilities of Kent’s machine, which was never commercially produced, and went back to his own experimental process. Grainger didn’t lose interest in composition using the new synthesizers: either Grainger, or Burnett Cross, appears to have attended a demonstration of the RCA Electronic Synthesizer at the Julliard School of Music, New York, in 1957, and Grainger attended a lecture entitled ‘New Instruments and Electronic Music’ given by Karlheinz Stockhausen on 3 November 1959, at Columbia University, USA Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource ‘Dr Kent’s Electronic Music Box’, USA Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource c.1951 Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource Reproduction from original 35 mm slide Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context Grainger Museum Archive, 99.6700.1 https://omeka.cloud.unimelb.edu.au/grainger/files/original/e9a6fdb5d70c26472ceaed387b7687d3.jpg 7763d0f54d2f8a86316599bcd207e186 https://omeka.cloud.unimelb.edu.au/grainger/files/original/ea5ee5b0bdca85ba66ada2d13a6ed445.jpg b26f25a461d50966e67b8816da1c2f4e https://omeka.cloud.unimelb.edu.au/grainger/files/original/708ee9b7ba901f824e42180ff86c823d.jpg 7fe7a7bc24f988bfdd4376fbcc37185e Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
