Teenage Engineering goes medieval with its craziest product yet
The ‘Medieval Instrumentalis Electronicum’ EP-1320 is an electronic MIDI sequencer ready to create mythical tunes.
Teenage Engineering calls its new digital music sequencer an instrumentalis electronicum, “the ultimate, and only, medieval beat machine.” I call it coolium thingamajignus because the EP-1320 embodies all of Dante’s circles of weird and wonderful. On first sight, the gadget doesn’t make much sense. I really don’t know why the Scandinavian design house decided to create a medieval music sequencer, but after studying it like a Augustinian friar, I fully embrace their Gregorian wackiness.
