The Melbourne Electronic Sound Studio (MESS) is an Australian independent non-profit arts organization founded by sound artists Robin Fox and Byron J Scullin in 2016. MESS features a collection of synthesizers, drum machines, and other electronic instruments which are available to use. [1]
The instruments in their collection are on loan from local musicians, including major contributions from Tony Osmond and Goyte. [2] [3] [4] Due to the size of the collection, only a third can be displayed at one time, so are rotated regularly. [1]
Access to MESS is provided through an annual membership, allowing members to book out instruments and play them or record with them in the space. [4] [1] Notable international musicians who have visited include Legowelt, [5] Clark, [6] and David Chesworth who was their artist in residence in 2017. [7]
MESS have also displayed their collection in exhibitions and public performances, which has included partnerships with Red Bull, Google, and the Grainger Museum. [8] [9] [10]
On 27 March 2021, MESS Synthesiser Orchestra performed at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl Melbourne. The orchestra featured 40 synthesizers spanning from the 1960s to the present day. [11] [12]
