The Buddha Machine is a hardware loop player, resembling a little AM radio, complete with an integrated speaker, a volume control, mini jack-out and a button to choose between nine different loops. The loops or drones are stored on a small chip and can be directly played by this mini soundsystem. The nine drones, constructed by FM3, varying from two seconds to 42 seconds, repeat endlessly in the listener’s ear until the “track” is switched to the next drone.
