Teenage Engineering OP-Z: The First Seven Days

Hi I got one of the Teenage Engineering OP-Z digital synthesizer things. It's like if you took the Pocket Operators and married them with an Elektron device and it's pretty fun. This is my first 7 days getting to know the device. You look great today, btw.

For someone who "claims" that they don't know what they're doing you've made the OP-Z sound better than anyone else I've seen so far. Only 3 minutes into the video and I can tell it's going to be a Red Means Recording classic.

Somehow i get the feeling that the phrase "i have no idea what I'm doing" is relative and subjective

What a wonderful creative machine. Oh and the OP-Z's cool too.

Still watching the video but I gotta shout out 7:28, your attention to detail for the text to ALWAYS be at the same skewed angle as the ipad, even after you bump it around multiple times, is honestly why you are the most satisfying video editor on YouTube. Really loving the music, but never stop being you when editing those videos <3

That last track was fantastic. The visualization was just perfect.

Looking forward to the day that my "just figuring things out" sounds like a finished track. Theory and practice and time. Awesome vid as always.

This year was a real journey for me. I started learning music production (flailing for real). And it's mainly because of you and this videos. I hope you keep wanting to make them, because I will keep wanting to see them.

I know practically nothing about music creation and theory, but Teenage Engineering makes me want to buy their products based on their aesthetic alone.

This got to be the best music production video ever made. Man, building up the tension with every passing day ! That Movie mode was awesome ! Great job RMR <3

[JimBReay]

AMAZING. This was a tour de force. Beautiful video - and that crazy animation at the end was mesmerizing. Thanks for showing us what is possible with this crazy device.

I keep coming back listening to that track. Day 3. There is so much magic, musicality and emotion in that piece. The combination of the technological marvel of the OP Z and the creativity of the one who is controlling it makes this a timeless piece of music. Thank you Jeremy!!!

This is the first demo that has truly convinced me of this machine's worth. Great job

[PaytonCarterMusic]

Thank you for gracing us with 30 whole minutes of your goodness. It was lots of fun watching you start from day 1, it gives some great insight into your creative process!

Listening to the track (day 2) and seeing "I don't know what I'm doing".
It feels like some a real humble brag lol.
Awesome shit as always RMR!

[Erinkyan]

this is so cool! it's kind of a relief to me to see amazing artists like you when you're learning a new bit of equipment, makes me feel a lot less silly about how long it takes me to learn new things sometimes. thank you heaps for showing us your learning and experimenting as well as the cool stuff you made with it!!!

[mynameisAMRA]

Jeremy, this is SO GOOD. Especially your Day 3 Techno jam. Sitting in my algorithms class waiting for lecture to start, trying not to bob my head TOO obviously.

Beautiful work, man. Keep it up!

[tomashernandez]

you Are killing it! thank you for sharing! always inspiring Mr red means recording

[TimoWelde]

Me and my girlfriend LOVED Day 6! The Melody, the structure, the effects, we are in awe. Love you!

Your performances and patterns are wild man. You and the OP-Z are soul mates.
