Gristleism now available for pre-order in USA from Forced Exposure

"Industrial Records Ltd. are pleased to announce the birth of GRISTLEISM, the newest member of the Throbbing Gristle family. Bastard offspring of now-famous ambient loop player the Buddha Machine, GRISTLEISM is part industrial sound machine, part noise instrument. Featuring 13 original and uncompromising loops, GRISTLEISM delivers a mix of signature TG experimental noise, industrial drone, and classic melodies and rhythms. Available in three colors -- black, chrome and red -- the palm-sized unit (size: w67mm x h69mm x d35mm) features a built-in speaker, volume control, pitch-shift control and loop selector switch. Note: GRISTLEISM does not feature an audio output socket or a DC power input socket. GRISTLEISM features more loops and almost twice the frequency range of the Buddha Machine. GRISTLEISM is powered by two AA batteries and is the world's first and only portable TG aural exciter! GRISTLEISM was born from a collaboration between Industrial Records, Throbbing Gristle and Christiaan Virant (the creator of the original FM3 Buddha Machines) and is packaged in an exquisite "Chinese paper-cut" wrapping, featuring a repeating TG logo pattern, foil embossing and UV ink."

"the psychotronic generator is a circuit bent atari punk console built by coloringpad housed in a case featuring the artwork of paul laffolely. amongst it's features are are the two main knobs, a cross mod, a battery sag, two led distortion knobs, and 3 photoresistors mounted inside of a pulsating light. The recording here does not do the sonic mayhem justice, and on top of everything, the entire atari punk side of the device is one side of a ring modulator, which allows any input to combine its sound with this machine. for more, visit coloringpad.blogspot.com"

Instrument-a-day 6: Buddha Bonk

"Buddha Box, wire, brass, and conductive foam.

The Buddha Box is a little electronic gadget that plays any of 12 chants over and over again. I wired it up with a brass tablet and drumstick so I can play it like a drum-- each hit switches to a new chant. (A little bit of conductive foam on the end of the drumstick muffles the tapping sound.)

It sounds like this."

Buddah Machine vs Mini Kp tape echo

"The Fm3 Buddah machine sits on my desk at work. Today I put the first loop into the Korg Mini Kp and had a lttle fun."

New York Times Features the FM3 Buddha Machine

"A few years ago, an experimental music duo called FM3 toured Europe, playing a 40-minute set that the duo’s founder Christiaan Virant describes as “very reductionist, very minimalist, very sparse.” He and Zhang Jian, who are based in Beijing, performed on laptops. Some of these compositions were later released on a CD by Staalplaat, a specialty label based in Amsterdam; it sold about a thousand copies. In the context of avant-garde music, that’s not bad: “If someone can sell 2,000 CDs,” Virant says with a laugh, “they’re like a superstar.” So it’s hard to find the right superlative to describe what happened when some of that same sparse music was released again — not on CD but in a little plastic box called the Buddha Machine. Two years later, sales are approaching 50,000 units and still going strong."

Update via Matt: FM3 Buddha Machine website.
"I bought mine off Turntablelab.com a few months ago. It's a fun ambient machine to get creative juice going. It gets me doing some abstract beats playing it and noodling with the MPC ;)."
