Sound design // public health // weird sounds (mostly on the piano). “No respect for the culture of pianism”. Your queer dad.
Crucially, the other, notorious collection housed at the Grainger museum (insisted upon in his will) is a collection of all of Grainger’s BDSM gear in “the lust branch” lmao storeroom.its.unimelb.edu.au/umc/grainger...

Sorry for the insanely targeted content about a non-mayor (I mean… was Percy Grainger the mayor of piano????), but the phrase “briefcase computers by 1975” immediately brought to mind the Suitcase VCS3 in the Grainger museum’s collection omeka.cloud.unimelb.edu.au/grainger/ite...

There’s one per building at my campus, but the quality varies wildly. Social sciences share a building with Business, so ours is almost *too nice*, but the law school one is basically a supply closet???
