Friday office ambience. Six of FM3’s Buddha Machines, from left to right: indeterminate color gen2, light blue gen1, clear gen 3 (aka Chan Fang), dark blue gen 4 (the edition for Philip Glass’ 80th birthday), white gen5, and green gen1. At a reader’s suggestion, I let this one run on for over two minutes.

I may do another with the Gristleism box (FM3 + Throbbing Gristle) added on Monday, though a low-pass filter is probably required to have it settle in with the other members of the robot choir.

Thursday Office Ambience

Five out-of-sync Buddha Machines by FM3. The green and (light) blue are the first generation. The indeterminate color is the second generation. The clear one is third generation (also known as Chan Fang). The dark blue one is a collaboration between FM3 and Philip Glass (choral voices in this loop).

Wednesday Office Ambience

Four thankfully out-of-sync Buddha Machines. Green and blue are the first generation, the indeterminate color is second generation, and the clear one is third generation (also known as the Chan Fang model).

I just noticed the Gristleism box (a collaboration between Buddha Machine creators FM3 and the band Throbbing Gristle) staring down from the shelf on the right.
