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.

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."⁠
