Experimental Music Instruments is a group of engineers, composers and sound artists who promote the design of non-traditional instruments in order to provide the amateur player with a meaningful and pleasant performance experience. EMI Project offers non-professional musicians the possibility of experimenting with the musical activity, where pleasure is achieved by playing around with reliable music artifacts, exploring unusual sound structures.

With the use of open design tools like Arduino and Pure Data we are able to hack almost everything and turn it into a musical instrument. The open source environments that are used in EMI project give us an opportunity to develop instruments that map physical interaction to sound within a digital environment.
