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 Gotye.[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]
