Buddha Machine 2 .0
Beijing-based duo FM3 is back with an all-new version of their wildly successful 2005 release, the Buddha Machine. Introducing Buddha Machine 2.0 - Nine new loops. 3 new colours. Pitch bend. Blurring the line between music box and musical instrument, the Buddha Machine 2.0 is an interactive album that lets users customise the listening experience. Drop the pitch and the music ebbs in a low ambient drone. Boost the speed and suddenly its alive with melody. Add a few more machines, set them at different speeds and you have an evolving audio perfume. Plug it into a mixer, add some beats or vocals or guitar... FM3 won't mind. In fact, they encourage people to use the Buddha Machine as inspiration.
Since its release in 2005, the original Buddha
Machine has sold more than 50,000 units worldwide and has won praise
from artists as diverse as Daft Punk, Gorillaz, Low, Monolake, Sunn
O))), Blixa Bargeld and Mike Patton. Legendary producer
Brian Eno was the first customer for the original Buddha Machine
and nearly 3 years later told FM3 he still "cherishes" his purchase!
Similar in shape and design to the original Buddha Machine, but
boasting more robust construction and improved sound quality, the 2.0
comes in three colours: Burgundy, Grey and Chocolate. For those who
haven't experienced the pleasure of the original, the Buddha Machine
is essentially a small plastic box that plays ambient loops. The loops
repeat endlessly until the "track" is switched or the two AA batteries
(not included) run out. The machine has its own built-in speaker and
there is also a headphone jack for a more personal experience. But the
charm of the device isn't nearly as specific: The Buddha Machine has a
calming presence in today's fast paced world. It's charm mixes with
FM3's innovative music to provide the owner with an experience that is
hard to define. Essentially, It's a box with a life, a tool for
living, and to many, it's a friend.Founded in 1999 by Christiaan
Virant and Zhang Jian, FM3 are considered pioneers of
electronic music in China. Inspired by Buddhist prayer boxes found at
temples around Asia, the duo released the original Buddha Machine in
April 2005, winning acclaim in publications including BoingBoing.net,
the New York Times and avant-rock Arthur Magazine.

FM3 Buddha Machine 1.0
唱佛機（Buddha Machine）是亞洲佛教徒常用的小盒子，內置的記憶體裝著梵唄或者佛號。FM3也發明了自己的唱佛機，他們把佛號換成了九段聲音素材，做成七種顏色。唱佛機的英文又可稱為「Buddha Box」，FM3自己加上了進行時態，成了「佛打架」（Buddha Boxing）。演出通常分為兩部分，成員表演完後，觀眾拿唱佛機做自己喜愛的聲音拼貼。九段loop隨著觀眾選擇產生不同效果，可以聽六段，聽四段，也可以高聲聽，低聲聽，現場也變成為一個依據不同音景而變化的空間。《Grooves》雜誌和「boingboing」網站都提到了唱佛機「反i-pod」的性質，在i-pod已經將人異化成了「i-poder」時，小塑膠盒子的「FM3唱佛機」則變成了重新喚起聽覺的潛意識與進入冥想世界的密鑰。

About FM3
Founded in 1999 by Christiaan Virant and Zhang Jian, two active members
of the Beijing music scene, FM3 are considered pioneers of electronic
music in China.
Known for dedicating prime space for “live” aspects within their work,
FM3 produces mysterious, meditative and minimalist soundscapes, while
subtly adding elements of Chinese folk tradition into a universe
abundant in micro-sounds and synthetic glitches.
FM3 has been called “the most prominent experimental act in China” by
the US magazine Grooves. XLR8R described FM3’s sound as “poetic noise”
and the UK magazine The Wire calls FM3 live sets “meditative,”
“soothing” and “engagingly intimate.”
In 2004, FM3 was commissioned by the Louvre museum in Paris to provide a
new soundtrack for the 1930s film “La Croisière jaune.” The project
concluded with three live performances at the Louvre Auditorium in early
June.
FM3’s sound installations have been featured at the 2004 Shanghai
Bienalle as well as the Beijing-Tokyo Art Project, the Dashanzi
International Art Festival and the Kulturhallen Dampfzentrale in the
Swiss capital of Bern.
The mass-produced FM3 Buddha Machine loop box was named of the best
“boxed sets” of 2005 by the New York Times and was one of the top
selling electronic releases of 2005-06.
