Description
An account of the resource
In 1966 Humble established the Society for the Private Performance of New Music (SPPNM) at the Grainger Museum. SPPNM members, mostly young composers such as Ian Bonighton, met monthly at the Grainger, for ‘performance workshops’ directed by Humble. Both traditional and contemporary music was played, including participants’ own compositions. According to Humble, all the music was performed “in a ‘discovery’ kind of way, with a commitment made individually toward a musical event - a ‘composition’”. The SPPNM performed Grainger’s innovative aleatoric (chance) piece, Random Round on the 21st May 1967, in a program that included Morton Feldman’s Vertical Thoughts III, and Edgar Varese’s Density 21.5.

Sol-fa chart
Subject
The topic of the resource
Music education; "Multivocal" exhibition Old Quad; sight singing
Description
An account of the resource
This chart for teaching singing was made by Samuel McBurney (b. Glasgow, UK 1847, d. Melbourne 1909), who taught sight singing and ear training at the Conservatorium of Music at the University of Melbourne in the late nineteenth century. Probably the first of its kind made in Australia, the chart features hand-drawn birds to represent the notes of the scale. All the birds of the tonic triad—a black crow and jackdaw for doh, green lovebirds for me, and a red parrot for soh—are shown seated, representing stability. The rest of the birds are shown in flight: ray is an orange hummingbird, fah a blue owl, lah a violet dove, and te a yellow canary.

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.”

The topic of the resource
EMS Synthi 100
Description
An account of the resource
This photograph was taken of the EMS Synthi 100 in 2017, in its current home at the Victorian College of the Arts, University of Melbourne. This instrument was originally part of the Grainger Electronic Music
Studio. The Synthi 100 used new oscillator and filter components and was more stable than its predecessor, the VCS3 MK1. It was driven by 12 VCOs and featured a built-in oscilloscope, two 60 x 60 patchbays, two joystick controllers, dual five-octave velocity-sensitive keyboard controllers and a three-layer, 10,000 step, 256 dual note digital sequencer. This system was mounted in a free-standing console cabinet.
Tristram Cary assisted in the setup of the Synthi 100 in the Grainger Museum in 1973, with Keith Humble and technician Jim Sosnin. When Humble and Sosnin left the University of Melbourne to go to La Trobe University, technician Les Craythorn began his long association with the instrument. Les can be seen in the video made by ABC Television in 1976, displayed later in this exhibition, recreating Percy Grainger’s Free Music with the Synthi 100. Late in the 1980s the instrument went into storage, as people’s attention turned away from analogue to the convenience of digital machines. Craythorn has been centrally involved in restoring the Synthi 100 since 2014, and the instrument is once again actively used in research and performance.

Description
An account of the resource
Electronic Music Studios, Ltd, London, Synthi A (Suitcase VCS3), 1971
Metal, plastic, electronic components
On loan from MESS Ltd
The Synthi A was designed for portability, and was built into a Spartanite attaché case with a carry-handle. This instrument allowed musicians to easily take their synthesizer from the studio to the stage. In 1972, EMS added a built-in touch keyboard and sequencer to the instrument, then called the Synthi AKS.
Pink Floyd used the Synthi A on the songs ‘Time’ and ‘On the Run’ on their album Dark Side of the Moon (1973). The German band Kraftwerk used the Synthi A on the 1974 album Autobahn. Jean-Michel Jarre featured the Synthi AKS on his albums Oxygène (1976) and Equinoxe (1978). Brian Eno, with his band Roxy Music, used the Synthi A extensively for avant-garde rock as well as ambient music.
