Venue: Exhibition Gallery, Grainger Museum
Rosalind Hall is the researcher behind the exhibition Experiments in Freedom and the co-producer of a forthcoming LP of Grainger’s Free Music experiments. Rosalind will describe the process she and engineer/designer Michael Candy undertook to realise the playable remakes of Grainger’s instruments, and guide you through the fascinating story of Grainger’s lifelong quest to realise his Free Music. See recently digitised images of Grainger’s instruments and workings, hear never before released recordings of Grainger’s original instruments - and play on the instrument remakes!
Percy Grainger's last great adventure into experimental music saw him attempting to build extraordinary music machines that would revolutionise ideas about making and experiencing music.
Crafting Experiments in Freedom is part of the University of Melbourne's Cultural Collisions, presented in association with Melbourne Festival.
