If you've never heard of bardcore it's well worth a google
Thank you, that was absolutely worth it. :-) I just heard their medieval version of "somebody that I used to know" -- https://youtube.com/watch?v=Ch1aVmjvYTI The lyrical changes were wonderful.

I bought the '82 vinyl in '82: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Feather_on_the_Breath_of_God
How the heck did they get 7 segment LEDs (probably more than 7) in that style? And where can I buy some?
Doubt those are individual "7 segment LEDs", more likely it's just a light-pipe with a specialized shape, and white LEDs beneath. There's another very similar device on their website with slightly differently shaped "7 segment LEDs".
So this might still be specially shape mask on top that 10 segment display. But considering that it by itself isn't exactly common (compared to 7 or even 14 and 16 segment displays) I wouldn't be too surprised if they were able to find a factory in china that would make a customized segment led modules in batches of few thousands. At the end of day what are 7 segment displays if not a bunch of LEDs and light guides molded into single plastic case. It wouldn't be cheap but for a premium product with focus on visual design and experience like what the teenage engineer makes it doesn't seem impossible.
As for something more accessible to a hobbyists - people have been experimenting with placing custom cutouts on top of LED displays with quite good looking results. It can be as simple as thin laser cut stencil on top of LED matrix display https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oLgUtjyKO6Q With thicker 3d printed mask you can even shift the positions of segments https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gt2merZcuno
This is unnecessary consumerism...
Are sculptures, picture frames, decorative vases and ornamental unused candles unnecessary?

There's sort of two ways to look at the Teenage Engineering products. The first is as a tool to produce music, and the second is as a kind of interactive sculpture. The design and production of these things is so good they are almost like art themselves. Are they useful? Not really, you could achieve the same thing with a VST — hardware isn't required for this — but to think in this way is to miss the point. Are scul…

Has anyone began dabbling in music production, just to play with some of teenage engineering's gadgets? I'm pretty sure if I bought one, it would just sit in my cupboard, but I'm looking for an excuse to buy one, has anyone here gotten more use out of one of their gadgets than they expected they would?
unless you're a really big fan of TE there really isn't ever a reason to buy anything they make other than maybe the pocket operators. it's all overpriced shit which doesn't make sense to buy when compared with competing products. for example this thing makes zero sense when the sp404mk2 exists.
I still like it but I’m already trying to find something to eventually replace it with. But is there really something out there with similar size, features, and price as the OP-Z? I would like to find something.
