Anyma playing with the custom TEILE Elektronik controllers at the Sphere for The End of Genesys

Behind every groundbreaking performance lies innovation born from necessity, and Anyma‘s “The End of Genesys” at The Sphere is no exception. Originally a laid-back discussion in the coziness of an Ibiza summer, what started out as a simple performance interface for electronic music has developed into one of the most complex ones available for musicians to use live.

What is TEILE Elektronik?

The narrative starts with TEILE Elektronik, a passion project born out of the joint ideas of two inventors: Benjamin, a technical master with a vision for transforming performance technology, and Rampa, the revered DJ and co-founder. Rampa’s years of performance provide insight into what artists really need, so their collaboration exemplifies the ideal mix of technical knowledge and practical experience; Benjamin’s engineering ability brings these concepts to life.

What is the custom controller used in The End of Genesys show?

Anyma’s performance arrangement centers on their masterwork, a dual-controller system that pushes the envelope of live electronic music capability. Instead of compromising for off-the-shelf fixes, this custom-designed interface has two painstakingly created control surfaces with six precision knobs and faders. These controllers are the result of many hours of improvement, not only bits of hardware that guarantee every touch and movement exactly converts into sound.

The arrangement has an equally arresting visual design. Designed in translucent acrylic, the controllers’ internal operations are purposefully revealed to produce an intriguing interaction between form and function. LED wires slink their way through the clean container to the DJ booth’s base, their soft glow accentuating the futuristic look that marks The End of Genesys exhibition.

How does the controller integrate with The Sphere?

The monitor running Ableton Live, the neurological hub of the whole performance, lies at the core of this technical symphony. This is about arranging a sophisticated dance between music and images, not only about running tracks. Every single component of the presentation is painstakingly timecoded to guarantee flawless alignment with The Sphere’s large LED display. Anyma sets off a sample or starts a track, and the whole room responds in perfect harmony to provide an immersive experience not possible a few years ago.

The effect modules of the controller give hitherto unheard-of control over the soundscape. Every knob has been meticulously tuned to control particular settings – reverb, delay, release, and more – thereby enabling Anyma to design the sound precisely. For a facility like The Sphere, where the HOLOPLOT audio system demands perfection in every frequency, this degree of control is very vital.

This arrangement is really innovative since it perfectly interacts with The Sphere’s sophisticated technical system. Every movement, every change, every trigger is a part of a bigger choreography beyond just sound. From the robotic performers to the huge canvas of LED panels around the audience, the unique interface commands a full digital orchestra, and not only controls the music.

Who created this setup?

The quick development from idea to reality tells volumes about the technical knowledge of the TEILE team as well as Anyma’s clear show vision. Rampa feels delight in how fast they were able to turn an aspirational vision into a working reality as he considers the path the project took from an Ibiza talk to its fruition at The Sphere.

This is about reinterpreting the interaction between artist, technology, and audience, not only about producing a fresh piece of gear. Developed for The End of Genesys, the unique controller system marks a major advance in how electronic artists could interact with their surroundings during live events. It establishes a new benchmark for what is feasible when technical innovation meets artistic vision, therefore demonstrating that creativity alone will define the future of electronic music performance.
