The Estonian Electronic Music Society Ensemble (EMA) was founded in 2017 and is dedicated to performing contemporary electronic music. The ensemble members are Doris Hallmägi, Ekke Västrik, Taavi Kerikmäe and Tarmo Johannes.

EMA aims to transcend technological constraints and foster sensitive musicianship, mutual responsiveness, and acute listening while exploring the rich sonic possibilities of various electronic instruments. The ensemble is praised for its flexibility and musicality, qualities that can easily be lost amidst the buttons and sliders of electronic music performance.

EMA’s instrumental setup is diverse, ranging from Buchla and Serge synthesizers to live electronics. The ensemble has performed at major festivals, including: AFEKT Festival, Üle Heli, Tallinn Music Week, Festival Of Spooky Action, ISCM World Music Days, Estonian Music Days, Baltic Music Days “UP-CLOSE”.
