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. ⁠⁠~⁠⁠A Decade of MESS: Past, Present, Future⁠⁠Stay tuned on our socials and subscribe to our mailing list as we roll out our 10-year celebrations across 2026–2027.

ROS BANDT: PROGRAMME NOTE | SONOROUS XIII⁠⁠Ahead 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.⁠⁠SONOROUS XIII | 7pm, Thu 30 April⁠ [SOLD OUT]⁠Ros Bandt and Vijay Thillaimuthu⁠@melbrecital

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 MIDI in 1983 — alongside the Sequential Circuits Prophet-600.⁠⁠Now available to book and play.⁠⁠Link in bio.

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. ⁠⁠ Link in bio
