Watch Teenage Engineering Performing Live At Brilliant Minds

When was the last time we saw the staff of a cool synth company actually performing with their products… creating something musical… and I'd like to use that word again, “musical”. It's a breath of fresh air and it suddenly makes sense that it'd be Teenage Engineering doing this. They're more than hardware magicians and rockstar coders, they're also talented musicians.

On June 11th at the Brilliant Minds Conference, Teenage Engineering got up on stage to demonstrate how they are reimagining the aesthetic of live performances with the use of technology. On stage we spotted an OP-1 being played with some gear wheels!), more OP-1s, OD-11s, Ortho remotes and pocket operators.

As technology continues to play an increasingly prominent role in creating and performing music, being able to see and interact with the human element on stage is something we'd love to see more of here at AskAudio.

(We reviewed the Pocket Operator synths here.)
