Interested festivalgoers have long been tracking the progress of the OHMI project, which is making another appearance at the Ars Electronica Festival. Its main goal – fostering development of a one handed musical instrument for physically impaired musicians – has long since gotten underway. The competition to develop new musical instruments staged by the OHMI Trust is now in its second year and has already brought forth a whole series of fascinating prototypes.

New Instruments

Guitars, tubas, trumpets, recorders and Midi-controlled hybrid instruments are currently available to music enthusiasts. In conjunction with the Future Innovators Summit, the OHMI Trust will discuss the current state of affairs and present the instruments created to date.
