Orbital discussing their synths at Moogfest 2012

Ok, bit behind the times with this one, but it's interesting and fun to pause the vid to read off how they name their keys on the muting keyboard and such.

Unlike many electronic music duos, brothers Phil and Paul Hartnoll don't just go on stage spinning turntables and then call that a performance. Orbital plays live techno using real synthesizers, drum machines, effects processors, Ableton Live, iPads, and MacBook Pros.

No actual vintage synthesizers here, except the TR-909, which of course is technically a drum machine by design. But still interesting.
