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/c216d6adac8efd2acca0deee55bee1ed.jpg 1cf67b87c2d051bad6a00b0c6746f62a https://omeka.cloud.unimelb.edu.au/grainger/files/original/2b8e16f2d99b01685911c2d8473aad2c.jpg 84bc4b3f3257eba6ad09b66815fba8e9 https://omeka.cloud.unimelb.edu.au/grainger/files/original/6df168724922063de0e518c720649af6.jpg 12fdb8b2ecb9e9d215d7891bfad116a1 https://omeka.cloud.unimelb.edu.au/grainger/files/original/60deca525897c4a378ad89c2ece2dc0e.jpg f968d015feebf36b4769f07435e2b629 https://omeka.cloud.unimelb.edu.au/grainger/files/original/85e44807eca9075ce05db1d4c38de659.jpg cbdc071fa669088bbf5a90901d4e32b7 https://omeka.cloud.unimelb.edu.au/grainger/files/original/f9c14b8ee349bbd981d961fadba7b5e2.jpg b54b61a4f7d3f92109a74fe9e6887c47 https://omeka.cloud.unimelb.edu.au/grainger/files/original/231f2d5f8a6bba4125cb0b3b25caf531.jpg 96663d0d56348fdafb662d95a79bb5d3 https://omeka.cloud.unimelb.edu.au/grainger/files/original/e94d41382f6e67c13b602f9cea25b25a.jpg 876d82d39bf9ee668d41385d8b93ef97 https://omeka.cloud.unimelb.edu.au/grainger/files/original/7d8a0349d25b31bba9e80245c8d19180.jpg ae996158c476ff3efbba7eee45849d74 https://omeka.cloud.unimelb.edu.au/grainger/files/original/b3a0f4e51e327f5fb172d4fb93c1cad1.jpg e1a3c1cc245fa4cd44cf2fd49e7a01e8 https://omeka.cloud.unimelb.edu.au/grainger/files/original/3f6b05f4260d37848aef69acf8be6f6c.jpg 5ab1036b2657b27ed076d2c4bbc88310 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 Dolls used by Mona McBurney for her opera The Dalmatian (c. 1926) Subject The topic of the resource Opera; minatures; stage design; The Dalmatian; Mona McBurney Collection; Multivocal exhibition Old Quad Description An account of the resource The Dalmation was the first opera written by a woman to be performed in Australia. Its libretto was adapted from F. Marion Crawford’s novel, Marietta: A Maid of Venice. Excerpts were performed in late 1910, and the first full performance was given in 1926. As scholar Louise Jenkins has observed, ‘The opera stands as proof of the benefits that can be reaped when society provides equal encouragement, support and opportunity for men and women in their musical endeavours.’ The score of the opera The Dalmatian is held by the Grainger Museum. Conservation treatments on the McBurney Collection, to prepare the objects for display in the exhibition Multivocal (2020-2021), have been generously funded by Julia and Kevin Selby.

Title A name given to the resource Double reed box single tracker bar (incomplete) Subject The topic of the resource Free Music Description An account of the resource Wood, plastic, string, tape, metal, masonite This ‘reed box’ is designed somewhat like a giant mechanically-operated mouth organ. A large strip of paper (not present), like a pianola roll with holes cut at calculated points, was to be rolled steadily over the multi-coloured plastic fins, below which sit an array of accordion reeds tuned micro-tonally to approximate the effect of gliding tones when adjacent reeds are played. The machine was to be operated with a vacuum cleaner providing the necessary suction to draw air through the holes in the paper roll and then through the reeds.

Title A name given to the resource Eastern Intermezzo for tuneful percussion, Metal Marimba & Tubular Chimes part, 1898/99, 1933 Description An account of the resource Grainger first saw Indonesian instruments, including a Balinese gong, at the home of a wealthy collector in England. In 1912, while on tour in Europe, he was captivated by the Indonesian percussion instruments he saw in the National Museum of Ethnology, Leiden. Grainger first heard non-Western music in Chinatown in central Melbourne when he was a child. One of his earliest compositions, Eastern Intermezzo, written for small orchestra in 1898/89, was an attempt to capture this exotic sound. In 1933 Grainger arranged Eastern Intermezzo for a ‘tuneful percussion’ group of over 20 players. It was broadcast as a musical illustration during Grainger’s ABC Radio Lecture No.11, ‘Tuneful Percussion’, in January 1935, thus introducing the range and possibilities of the exclusively percussive ensemble to an Australian radio audience.

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.
