Buddhamachine
http://www.fm3.com.cn/buddhamachine.htm
FM3s Buddha Machine is a hardware loop player built like a little AM radio which retails for around twenty US dollars. It plays nine different built-in loops on an endless cycle and you can fade between them. And thats it. Made by a Buddhist-run factory in southern China (presumably for a bit of electronically enhanced meditation), the Buddha Machine is now being picked up by experimental musicians and made into records. Robert Henke bought six of them. Brian Eno bought eight.
MONOLAKE vs BUDDHA MACHINE!

"I think the scientific and the artistic spirit have something in common. The scientist wants not only to learn the facts, but to understand how they cohere, fit together and make a whole. He even uses criteria such as beauty and symmetry to help decide which theory he wants.
The scientist cannot capture the whole cosmos in thought. In his mind he makes a kind of microcosm, which we see as an analogue of the cosmos. In this way we try to get a feeling for the whole. The artist, I suppose, gets a feeling for the whole some other way.”
David Bohm in “Art, Dialogue and the Implicate Order”, published in On Creativity RC (Routledge Classics)
