The choir is inspired by the company’s very first project, the Absolut Choir which debuted in 2007 as a set of 22 wooden dolls.
The eight-piece ensemble of dolls sings out preset festive tracks like the Deck The Halls and Auld Lang Syne. Also, your own compositions via the company’s OP-1 Field, OP-Z, or any Bluetooth MIDI keyboard are playable.
Each of these eight dolls has its own voice and vocal pitch for a unique listening experience. They can sing in s chorus or solo (they all have built-in speakers) depending on the listeners’ mood and the occasion.
The dolls handcrafted out of solid Beech wood have unique personalities, given the different looks and voice modulation.
What’s most intriguing is the ability to trigger their performance by tapping on the head or even a light tap on the table. Tilting the doll left or right decreases or increases the audio volume courtesy of the embedded accelerometers.
Teenage Engineering just like all times, in their quirky style, express these dolls as an interactive gadget that can be given a “little smack to turn it off” when it gets too annoying!
The dolls are individually rechargeable with four hours of performance time which is not bad at all. These are more of an art project for creative people to appreciate but at a steep price tag. Each one of them will set you back US$249 and owning all of them will cost close to US$2000.
