NOPIA IS
AN INSTRUMENT
AN INSTRUMENT
A tool that asks the question:
can an interface tap into the mysterious phenomena
of how our ears intuitively experience the language of harmony?
Nopia is technology crafted to immerse you
in the experience of this language in real-time.
Nopia is an invitation :
To improvise, learn, compose. Play. Play. Play. Play.
Made from emotions and among friends.

A LOVE LETTER TO MUSIC
We uploaded a video showing our first prototype for an instrument design contest and something very unexpected happened! We weren’t the only ones wanting Nopia to exist.
Since then we’ve been transforming it from the idea we demoed into something that can live in your studio.
So many threads, disciplines, timezones, crossing and converging.
Industrial design, electronics, firmware, prototyping — an orchestration that keeps teaching us patience. Shortcuts don´t exist when you want to build something that truly matters. We’re almost there.
BUT,
WHENNNNNN ?
WHENNNNNN ?
We’ve finished development in mid 2025 and are currently in an exhaustive testing stage!
In the symphony of time, we’re giving our all to place a Nopia in your hands… and making sure it be as durable as physically possible.
Be the fist to know when it’s available
Can I buy NOPIA?
YES! but not just yet :) we’re working day and night so that all of us can have our own Nopia and play chord progressions and songs forever.
Is it easy to play?
Like any other instrument, it involves a learning curve. We’ll definitely be here to support that exploration!

Why only one octave?
Each key in Nopia is not a single note but a chord, which then unfolds into variations by using knobs and switches. This octave encompasses the entire chromatic scale, allowing you to play not only sounds from the 7 note diatonic scale but also some more far out chords known as secondary dominants and modal interchange - in music theory lingo.
But do I have to ‘know’ theory?
You don't need to know theory; Nopia takes care of that. We encourage you to compose, improvise, and have more tools to weave harmony, and train your perception! Of course, if you're familiar with functional harmony, we think you’ll get a lot out of it.

How much will it cost?
We’re ironing out the exact price point for launch! Aiming to hit the sweet spot between premium build while being an accessible instrument for music lovers :)
Do you have a release date?
Really aiming for it to be as soon as possible without rushing it out the door!

Can I eat it?
We get this question a lot, for the time being we’re using non edible materials - Striving to ensure it's as resilient and long-lasting as can be.
