present on the topic:
On a cold and damp Melbourne winter evening 13 brave souls gathered at the Melbourne Electronic Sound Studio in North Melbourne to learn more about MESS, and its unique collection of (primarily) analogue synthesisers.
Our host for the night was one of the founders, Byron Scullin.
After introducing himself, and giving a potted history of his career and experiences to date, Byron took us through the role of MESS as a not-for-profit organization founded by Robin Fox and himself. He described it as charity devoted to the housing of a collection of functional classic electronic instruments for musicians to experience creating analog synth music in a workshop environment using hardware, as opposed to today’s software recreations.
The next meeting of the AES Melbourne Section will be on Monday 3rd June.
It will be a visit to the Melbourne Electronic Sound Studio (MESS) where Byron Scullin will give a talk on:
The Establishment of MESS

The History of Electronic Music in Melbourne
(Bookings required – see below)
Byron will describe the establishment of MESS and its collection. He will also discuss the particular histories of key machines in the collection, as well as answer any questions you may have.
