teenage engineering Choir 8-Voice Ensemble

Based on cultures and characters from across the world, every doll is unique and has its own vocal tonality. While each is given their own voice type, a single doll can customize their vocal range to sing a dynamic solo performance. When more than one member of the choir are placed together, in any combination, they communicate with each other, and recognize the choral members in range, joining in a full choral experience.

The Teenage Engineering Choir

Featuring eight wooden dolls, they are built to serenade you with a collection of classics, as well as perform original compositions through MIDI over BLE. Each member has their own characteristic vocal range that can sing individually or together.

Behind the Curtain

The pre-programmed repertoire of classic songs have been created and performed using an algorithm based on counterpoint melody. This is a compositional technique that refers to the independent but complementary relationship between two or more lines of melody played at the same time.

Tap, Tilt or Smack

To get the choir started, an interior sensor in the speaker module reacts to vibration and movement, so controlling the choir is a playful experience. Gently tap the doll on its head or on the table to trigger the play or pause functions. You can also tilt the doll left or right to decrease or increase volume accordingly.

The Inspiration

Based on cultures and characters from across the world, every wooden choir doll from Teenage Engineering is unique and has its own vocal tonality. While each is given their own voice type, a single doll can customize their vocal range to sing a dynamic performance. When more than one member of the choir are placed together, they communicate with each other and recognize the choral members in range, joining in a full choral experience.

A Unique op–1 field Upgrade

The MIDI compatibility is where the magic really happens. Conduct your choir with op–1 field, Op–z, or any MIDI keyboard with bluetooth connectivity. Users can also connect an ortho remote for wireless control. Connecting one doll pairs the whole choir, instantly singing the notes in your composition. As with any live performance, each set will be a one-of-a-kind experience.
