Time is an incredible thing.⁠

Past, present and future are not disconnected ideas. Like feedback in an audio circuit, each informs the other in dynamic ways. ⁠

MESS exists at that fulcrum. We house the stories of Australian electronic music innovation and experimentation — stories that explain, in part, the extraordinary richness of the form in this country today. We look back to enrich the present, so the future of creativity belongs to everyone. ⁠

On April Fools’ Day 2026, that feedback circuit turns ten. ⁠

We’re working hard to expand our educational programs and reach people who face real barriers to the creative process, whether that’s financial, social, geographic, or beyond. ⁠

Until May 31st, all donations are matched dollar for dollar up to $50k by Creative Australia. Every dollar you give goes directly to this work to expand access to the creative process for more people than ever before. ⁠

Happy May the Fourth, friends! 💫 This Star Wars Day, @MESS_ltd co-founder Byron Scullin is here to show you around the ARP 2600 – the synthesiser that sound designer Ben Burtt used to create the voice of R2D2.

🌟 bonus fun fact, Ben Burtt also created the voice of Wall-E 🤖

If you’re interested in checking out more of MESS’s (Melbourne Electronic Sound Studio) collection of rare and vintage electronic instruments, they run tours and workshops – and you can also join as a MESS member to have ongoing access to their amazing collection 🙌🏼

ROS BANDT: PROGRAMME NOTE | SONOROUS XIII⁠

Ahead of Sonorous XIII tonight, learn from the internationally acclaimed sound artist pioneering new forms of sonic art, Ros Bandt (@rosbandt).⁠

Tonight spans fifty years of practice, in which Ros explores the elasticity of time in her reconstruction of a patch she first developed for the VCS3 Putney in 1972, an indeterminate graphic score for flute and synthesizer drawn from the I Ching.⁠

Outside of that, you can expect anything from a duet of sea urchins devouring kelp in Greece to Aeolian harps recorded in Moonbi, New South Wales.⁠

"Consider your whole body as a haptic visceral listening chamber."⁠

Read the full programme note at the link in bio.⁠

The Roland Jupiter-6 has arrived. 🪐⁠

Often overshadowed by its big brother, the JP-6 is a powerhouse in its own right: 12 analog oscillators, 6 voices, and that classic Roland warmth. It’s also a piece of history as one of the first synths used to demonstrate MIDIin 1983 — alongside the Sequential Circuits Prophet-600.⁠

Now available to book and play.⁠

Big thank you to everyone who joined us for a Studio Tour last month. 🎛️⁠

A lot of ground was covered in half an hour. Synthesisers rescued from a skip bin outside a closing university music department. A composer who took over the Grainger Museum in the 1960s — because he wanted to share his instruments. The only working VCS1 in the world, which Nine Inch Nails' Alessandro Cortini once stumbled across here and ended up recording a track with.⁠

None of it is behind glass. All of it is available to book and play. Thanks for coming and learning the rich histories behind these wonderful machines. ⁠

Next tour is coming up soon — spots go fast so join our mailing list to be the first to know. ⁠

Instagram Stories geheim ansehen

Der Instagram Story Viewer ist ein einfaches Tool, mit dem Sie Instagram Stories, Videos, Fotos oder IGTV heimlich ansehen und speichern können. Mit diesem Service können Sie Inhalte herunterladen und offline genießen, wann immer Sie möchten. Wenn Sie etwas Interessantes auf Instagram finden, das Sie später überprüfen möchten, oder Stories anonym ansehen möchten, ist unser Viewer ideal für Sie. Anonstories bietet eine ausgezeichnete Lösung, um Ihre Identität zu schützen. Instagram hat die Stories-Funktion erstmals im August 2023 eingeführt, die schnell auch von anderen Plattformen übernommen wurde, dank ihres fesselnden, zeitlich begrenzten Formats. Stories ermöglichen es Nutzern, schnelle Updates zu teilen, sei es Fotos, Videos oder Selfies, ergänzt durch Text, Emojis oder Filter, und sind nur 24 Stunden lang sichtbar. Dieser begrenzte Zeitrahmen sorgt für eine hohe Interaktion im Vergleich zu regulären Posts. Heutzutage sind Stories eine der beliebtesten Methoden, um sich in sozialen Medien zu verbinden und zu kommunizieren. Wenn Sie jedoch eine Story ansehen, kann der Ersteller Ihren Namen in seiner Viewer-Liste sehen, was ein Problem für die Privatsphäre sein kann. Was ist, wenn Sie Stories durchsuchen möchten, ohne bemerkt zu werden? Hier wird Anonstories nützlich. Es ermöglicht Ihnen, öffentliche Instagram-Inhalte anzusehen, ohne Ihre Identität preiszugeben. Geben Sie einfach den Benutzernamen des Profils ein, das Sie interessiert, und das Tool zeigt dessen neueste Stories an. Funktionen des Anonstories Viewers: - Anonymes Browsen: Sehen Sie Stories, ohne in der Viewer-Liste zu erscheinen. - Kein Konto erforderlich: Sehen Sie öffentliche Inhalte, ohne ein Instagram-Konto zu erstellen. - Inhalte herunterladen: Speichern Sie beliebige Story-Inhalte direkt auf Ihrem Gerät für die Offline-Nutzung. - Highlights anzeigen: Greifen Sie auf Instagram-Highlights zu, auch über das 24-Stunden-Fenster hinaus. - Repost-Überwachung: Verfolgen Sie Reposts oder Interaktionen bei Stories für persönliche Profile. Einschränkungen: - Dieses Tool funktioniert nur mit öffentlichen Accounts; private Accounts bleiben unzugänglich. Vorteile: - Datenschutzfreundlich: Sehen Sie sich beliebige Instagram-Inhalte an, ohne bemerkt zu werden. - Einfach und unkompliziert: Keine App-Installation oder Registrierung erforderlich. - Exklusive Tools: Laden Sie Inhalte herunter und verwalten Sie sie auf eine Weise, die Instagram nicht bietet.
