This project was funded by a Melbourne Engagement Grant, 2019. The project takes the relatively new area of virtual instrument design based on mapping ‘real’ instruments (via sampling their sound) to new tactile digital interfaces for re-use and creative application. The project engages with the unique and culturally valuable Grainger Museum instrument collection and brings contemporary sound making practices together with digital instrument design to create virtual Grainger instruments.

Title A name given to the resource Tokugawa Iemasa (1884–1963) Subject The topic of the resource Photograph Description An account of the resource Silver gelatine print. Photo: 33.3 x 23.4 cm Photo and board: 48.4 x 35.4 cm In the late 1930s Harris & Ewing was the largest photographic studio in the United States, with five physical locations and approximately 120 employees. A very important position in large studios was the printer, and Harris & Ewing employed experts in this field—a role that combined high-level technical skills with an ability to interpret the ‘house’ aesthetic. This portrait of Tokugawa Iemasa, Japanese diplomat and onetime lover of Ella Grainger, is a fine print with rich, velvety dark tones, carefully modulated skin tones and even chemically bleached highlights.

Title A name given to the resource Two metallophones, c.1910 Description An account of the resource Percy Grainger visited the musical halls of London in the decade before World War I, experiencing for the first time the sounds of the mallet percussion instruments used in jazz. To enrich his knowledge of these instruments, Grainger developed an arrangement with the London-based instrument making company Hawkes & Son. He would borrow different instruments, including newly developed forms of metal glockenspiels (metallophones), taking them home to experiment with their sound and technical characteristics. Grainger’s first composition that featured tuned percussion, Molly on the Shore, 1911, utilised a Hawkes & Son resonaphone.
