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. ⁠

Curious about the history behind our rare collection of electronic instruments?⁠

We've added extra spots for our MESS Studio Tour this Saturday, May 23!⁠

Led by MESS Director and Co-founder Byron Scullin, this guided tour takes you through the stories behind the sounds: the utopian manifestos printed in vintage synth manuals, DIY movements that democratised modular synthesis, and the Australian-made instruments whose profound contributions to electronic music history we are privileged to preserve and share.⁠

Saturday, May 23⁠
11:30am – 12:30pm⁠
MESS studio at @fed.square

MESS Studio Tours run on the 4th Saturday morning of each month. ⁠

Strictly limited places. Link in bio to RSVP.

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."⁠
