HOU GUAN YIN

"The idea of FM3 incorporating drums into their sound might sound entirely at odds with the ambient minimalism the Buddha Machine is associated with, but while that contraption's technology made economy and reduction a necessity - constricting FM3's sound palette into thirty-second loops - the CD facilitates a conceptually very different side of their work, allowing for an altogether freer, more ornate music. The eleven sound pieces that make up Hou Guan Yin function as a series of heavily layered vignettes composed from environmental sound materials, treated live instruments and digital synthesis." www.boomkat.com
