EMEAPP (Electronic Music Education and Preservation Project)
“EMEAPP (pronounced ehm-eee-app) is an acronym that stands for Electronic Music Education and Preservation Project. EMEAPP’s primary mission is to serve as the caretaker of one of the world’s most comprehensive private collections of modular, lead and poly synths, electro-mechanicals, amplifiers, guitars, basses, effects and recording gear.
The collection includes an extraordinary selection of rare, historical prototypes of instruments which would later become some of the most important in music history. The collection also contains many early production examples, meaning the first versions to hit the retail market.
Many items in the collection have VIP artist provenance, from Steve Howe, Chick Corea, The Allman Brothers, Parliament Funkadelic, Black Sabbath, The Who, Genesis, Bo Diddley, Frank Zappa, Jimi Hendrix, Keith Emerson, Yes, Kraftwerk, Neil Young, John Lennon, Pink Floyd, Cheap Trick, Queen, and the list goes on. New items are added regularly to further expand this amazing world-class collection.”
