Title A name given to the resource Embroidered Chinese jacket belonging to Rose Grainger 对襟（马褂女版） Subject The topic of the resource domestic objects; clothing; shoes; Chinese material culture Description An account of the resource The wide variety of clothing reflects the diversity of culture in the nation during the Qing Dynasty. After the Manchu-Qing rulers from the north of the great wall seized the power in China, they assert authority over the dominant native Han Chinese population and established new dress codes.

This embroidered Chinese Jacket is an example of this garment reform. The wide robe sleeves were a feature of typical Han women’s Clothing whilst the short length of the robe adopt from Manchurian culture. Royal blue embossed silk Chinese jacket with pink and gold silk braid and silk embroidery on black silk. Silk lining. Centre front opening with four gold-coloured metal buttons.

Title A name given to the resource EMS Spectre video synthesizer Subject The topic of the resource EMS Spectre video synthesizer Description An account of the resource Electronic Music Studios, Ltd, London, EMS Spectre video synthesizer, 1974–75 Metal, plastic, electronic components On loan from MESS Ltd Designed by Richard Monkhouse of EMS, the Spectre is a hybrid video synthesizer, combining both analogue and digital techniques. It uses the EMS patchboard system to allow completely flexible connections between module inputs and outputs. The video signals are digital, but they are controlled by analogue voltages. The instrument includes a digital patchboard for image composition, and an analogue patchboard for motion control. The prototype was said to have been used to provide a projected light show for an early Tangerine Dream concert at the London Rainbow. This particular instrument is not part of the Grainger Museum Electronic Music Studio. It is currently on loan to the MESS Collection. It was recently rediscovered by David Chesworth, literally ‘under the bed’ of a friend, who had been minding it for the owners who had moved overseas.

Title A name given to the resource EMS VCS3 synthesizer Subject The topic of the resource EMS VCS3 synthesizer Description An account of the resource Electronic Music Studios, Ltd, London, EMS VCS3 synthesizer, 1970 Metal, plastic, electronic components On loan from MESS Ltd The VCS3 is significant in that it was the first viable commercial European synthesizer. Launched in 1969 by EMS, it had a wide array of sound-producing and sound-modifying devices that could be freely interconnected. Like the VCS1, the VCS3 could process external sounds as well as generate them internally. Importantly for contemporary musicians, the instrument was compact and modestly priced. It cost less than one-fifth of the price of an equivalent Moog synthesizer, the only other real commercial competition. The ‘Pin Panel Matrix’ for patching is one of the VCS3’s most distinctive features. Tristram Cary designed the instrument in the new ‘L-shape’, so that the machine could be used at a desk as a teaching machine, and for demonstrations, as well as composition. This VCS3 was part of the Grainger Centre electronic equipment, bought by Keith Humble in the early 1970s.
