buddha box



we really adore our "buddha box" --

///

but we wish it played fewer minor-key loops. (we're fairly trad/hippy ambient over here. give us a tambura or a shruti box and leave us alone.) this thing's cool, tho, no doubt.




so, is it true that eno and monolake bought, like, 8000 each?

///

why not just lots and lots of batteries?

///

and is it true that there's a little buddha inside this thing?




is it true that hearing every minute as music is something like nirvana ?

///

///

the box hums in accord.

(can't spend $23 on a plastic thingy? check out a slightly flawed virtual buddha machine.)

buddha box! a nice fellow gave us one of these things last night, and we sat talking as our own sound installation burbled it's ambient field recording mix of frogs, toads, and crickets on one side of the room, with the buddha box over on the other side making pleasant little looping chimes and tones. i'm pleased, now i won't have to lean so heavily on 'thursday afternoon' and 'neroli' when i need that almost-not-there ambient sound fix. though i am sorely tempted to take it apart to see if there's really a little buddha inside...
