On Buddha

The mysterious Buddha Machine, from MF3, is a small box, of various colors, with an actual buddha inside, that plays short electronic music loops. I've not heard one, but from what I hear, those that have them, love them. I can't help but imagine, without basis, that it might be more fun/interesting if there was some way to manipulate the sound, or at least access it so that you could manipulate it. Also, the above links are not in a language that I know how to read or speak, so they are probably of limited probative value to the general readership of this institution of music criticism.
