Ella and Percy sourced the glasses from many different manufacturers, looking for glasses that could be played at one of six pitches: C sharp, D sharp, E sharp, F sharp, G sharp, A sharp, in several octaves. The 'out of tune' glasses were deliberately included with the pitched glasses, to enrich the aural effect.

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 <em>Twist bell</em>, 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.<br /><br />Hasell's innovations in difference-tone acoustics are also explored in the exhibition, including a bell prototype for the <em>Long Now 10,000 year clock</em> project, and a tuning fork designed to resonate with the frequencies of the earth. https://omeka.cloud.unimelb.edu.au/grainger/files/original/660546f843169bb4a00962976be3f0d3.JPG 2de5cc3bf03dbc025dbd185258174aeb https://omeka.cloud.unimelb.edu.au/grainger/files/original/081cd5b854f3d0a8d753ff5c834c61a3.jpg 7349ee89c82af44e908aa5ec634a9475 https://omeka.cloud.unimelb.edu.au/grainger/files/original/d2b3d42ed105ccd7d2be7c22ea284cb2.jpg b15b602162649f4469d3ddf3b99bcd79 https://omeka.cloud.unimelb.edu.au/grainger/files/original/2332077036dad002b23bb84801998bb8.jpg 9e8ff7eff468a6059a1b0d8089cbf115 https://omeka.cloud.unimelb.edu.au/grainger/files/original/6d2633c2b7f90697699604a7447195a6.jpg f80097620a5a5f2c60588fbf82590fc9 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 Pair of Chinese vases 晚清粉彩瓷 Description An account of the resource Chinese ceramic ware is an art form that has been developing for thousands of years and prospered in various forms. Prior to the seventh century, monochrome wares dominated the ceramic production and favoured by the aristocracy class. It is not until the ninth century, multicoloured ceramic ware became popular in China. The increasing trades and importation of foreign pigments in Ming dynasty brought a greater range of colour and tone to Chinese porcelain. More complex patterns and subject matters start to appear the surface of the Chinese porcelain. During this period, craftsmen draw inspiration from folklore engravings and closely related to civilian’s life and work. This pair of Chinese vases is a fine example of the close-to-life subject matter used on porcelain. It provides a lively depiction of people in the vegetable garden.

Title A name given to the resource Carved box 漆器雕花盒 Description An account of the resource DESCRIPTION: Oblong, hinged lid, on four ball-shaped legs. Inscribed brass plaque on inside lid (see Inscriptions). Currently contains 7 silver-coloured large beads. Inside it is another box, cardboard, also with an inscribed lid. INSCRIPTIONS: On inner lid: "Percy Grainger Hon. Musician Art Club SASKATSEN 1936". On outer lid: "Miss Hedley Yule 1922". Cinnabar lacquer over brass. Size: 4.4 x 10.0 x 8cm. OVERVIEW: The elaborate decoration of lacquerware requires intensive labour to produce. Carved lacquer is the purest form of lacquer art and a uniquely Chinese achievement in lacquer art. The decoration to the lacquerware is carved on built-up layers of thinly applied coats of lacquer into a three-dimensional design. This method of lacquer production reached its greatest flourishing from the thirteenth to the fifteenth century in China. This carved lacquer box depicts a young scholar with his boy attendant paying a visit to a senior scholar. It may relate to the Confucius tale about Confucius visiting Laozi for philosophical discussion on the meaning of life. The tale symbolises eagerness to seek new knowledge.
