HOW DO YOU PRONOUNCE EMEAPP?
Excellent question! The Electronic Music Education and Preservation Project is quite a mouthful, isn’t it! It’s no wonder we prefer to go by our acronym. As far as pronouncing it, we’ve heard (and answer to) it all, but we personally say EHM-ee-app.

AM I ABLE TO RECORD AT EMEAPP? MAY I USE THE INSTRUMENTS, AMPS AND EFFECTS?
Many musicians are naturally interested in making use of instruments at EMEAPP in their creative endeavors. While it is our goal to responsibly restore and regularly use as much of the collection as possible, some items are not accessible due to their fragile/non-working status and/or historical importance. However there are many items for which limited and carefully-controlled use for recording/performing is permissible and EMEAPP does have a specialized recording facility with which to facilitate artists’ use of items in the collection. If you have a project in mind, please reach out to us via our Contact Page to discuss.
CAN I VOLUNTEER OR INTERN AT EMEAPP?
