EMMI: Expressive Machines Musical Instruments

UPDATE 1/1/11:Thanks to all of the EMMI supporters who helped make our Kickstarter project such a success! If you'd still like to contribute to the project, we could use your help Feeding Hungry Robots

Founded by Troy Rogers, Scott Barton, and Steven Kemper in 2007, EMMI designs, builds and composes music for robotic instruments. We've created and begun composing for our first instruments, Poly-tangent Automatic (multi-)Monochord (PAM) and Multi-mallet Automatic Drumming Instrument (MADI), and we have a number of other complementary instruments on the way. This site, like our instruments, is under construction so be sure to check back soon for updates.

PAM and MADI are lonely robots. Nurture their future siblings!
