Georgia Tech announced the finalists in its wild musical instrument competition.

Every year, for the last 28 years, the school invites inventors from around the world to submit new instruments of their own design to compete for $10,000 in prizes. Past finalists have included founding members of Teenage Engineering, Artiphon, and Roli.
This year’s finalists are an impressive collection of oddballs. And last year KOMA Elektronik won for their creation the Chromaplane. There’s Amphibian Modules, a modular synth that swaps patch cables for a dish of saltwater.
