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. ⁠

ONE WEEK LEFT to have your impact DOUBLED!

Everyone deserves access to a circuit-bent Roland 707!

But seriously… cost, geography and lack of access to technical knowledge should not determine who gets to create with these wonderful instruments.

We’ve watched it change people here, and we want to reach further. Help us supercharge our program and remove barriers to creation for those who need it most. Because we know creative expression can change lives.

Donations doubled until May 31!

Happy International Synthesiser Day! ⚡

Today, May 23, celebrates the birthday of Robert Moog 🥳 so we thought we’d ask the expert (that’s @mess_ltd co-founder Robin Fox) to learn why Moog was so important in the history of synthesisers and electronic music 🦾

🎛️ If you want to try out these amazing instruments at MESS for yourself, check out their program of intro workshops – or consider joining as a member.

💰 As it’s also coming up to EOFY, MESS has a fundraiser campaign happening, so if you’ve got some spare 💸 consider donating to help them expand accessibility to creative education for those who face financial and other barriers to getting through their doors.

Every cent goes directly to dedicated workshops, school programs, more subsidised places in courses and new pathways into courses for those who would benefit most.

Also, in feel-good news, for every dollar donated up until 31 May, Creative Australia will match the contribution, up to $50,000 – so you can double your impact.

Nice!

“South West MESS helps broaden perceptions of what “music” and “musicianship” can look like, particularly in regional areas where traditional forms often dominate. This increased representation supports more inclusive creative pathways and encourages young people who may not see themselves reflected in conventional music programs to engage and participate” – South West MESS Participating Teacher, 2025. ⁠

More people deserve this. With your support, we can bring this experience to more people than ever before: to people who face the greatest barriers to music creation access, and who stand the most to gain from it. ⁠

Until May 31st, your donation is doubled, every dollar matched by Creative Australia up to $50k. Help us make MESS For ALL.⁠

Research consistently demonstrates that the impact of making music reverberates far beyond the music itself, and we've seen this ourselves from the 1000+ workshops and courses that we've already run.⁠

With your help, we can do more. We can build our MESS Pathways program to open music-making to those who face the greatest barriers. Help us truly make a MESS For ALL.⁠

Sustained music education builds creative problem-solving, self-regulation, resilience, discipline and the ability to collaborate and perform under pressure. These are essential life skills that should not be limited to those who can afford them.⁠

Until May 31st, every dollar you donate is matched by Creative Australia, up to $50k.⁠

Voir les histoires Instagram en secret

Le visionneur d’histoires Instagram est un outil simple qui vous permet de regarder et de sauvegarder secrètement les histoires Instagram, vidéos, photos ou IGTV. Avec ce service, vous pouvez télécharger du contenu et l’apprécier hors ligne quand vous voulez. Si vous trouvez quelque chose d’intéressant sur Instagram que vous souhaitez vérifier plus tard ou si vous voulez voir des histoires tout en restant anonyme, notre Visionneur est parfait pour vous. Anonstories offre une excellente solution pour garder votre identité cachée. Instagram a lancé la fonctionnalité Stories en août 2023, rapidement adoptée par d’autres plateformes en raison de son format engageant et temporaire. Les histoires permettent aux utilisateurs de partager des mises à jour rapides, qu’il s’agisse de photos, vidéos ou selfies, agrémentés de texte, emojis ou filtres, visibles pendant 24 heures seulement. Cette fenêtre de temps limitée crée un fort engagement par rapport aux publications régulières. Aujourd’hui, les histoires sont l’un des moyens les plus populaires de se connecter et de communiquer sur les réseaux sociaux. Cependant, lorsque vous regardez une histoire, le créateur peut voir votre nom dans leur liste de visionneurs, ce qui peut poser un problème de confidentialité. Et si vous souhaitez naviguer dans les histoires sans être repéré ? C’est là qu’Anonstories devient utile. Il vous permet de regarder du contenu public sur Instagram sans révéler votre identité. Il vous suffit d’entrer le nom d’utilisateur du profil qui vous intéresse, et l’outil affichera ses dernières histoires. Fonctionnalités du visionneur Anonstories : - Navigation anonyme : Regardez des histoires sans apparaître dans la liste des visionneurs. - Aucun compte requis : Regardez du contenu public sans vous inscrire à un compte Instagram. - Téléchargement de contenu : Sauvegardez directement du contenu d’histoires sur votre appareil pour une utilisation hors ligne. - Voir les highlights : Accédez aux Highlights Instagram, même après la période de 24 heures. - Suivi des reposts : Suivez les reposts ou l’engagement sur les histoires des profils personnels. Limitations : - Cet outil fonctionne uniquement avec les comptes publics ; les comptes privés restent inaccessibles. Avantages : - Respect de la vie privée : Regardez n’importe quel contenu Instagram sans être repéré. - Simple et facile : Aucune installation d’application ni inscription requise. - Outils exclusifs : Téléchargez et gérez du contenu de manière que Instagram ne permet pas.
