Nirvana Noise Box
Christiaan Virant speaks to us about the Buddha Machine, a box resembling a toy radio which plays a variety of sound loops that has made waves across Europe and Asia. Virant describes designing the Buddha Machine with bandmate Zhang Jian, playing a "Buddha Boxing" session for a full day in Jerusalem, and how the simple box uses sound like building blocks, allowing fans and artists to remix, sample and combine loops to their heart's content.
