fm3 buddha boxing malmo

From sandals and 35C in Beijing to beautiful, cool Autumn evenings in Scandanavia! FM3 back on the road with two weeks of shows and workshops in Sweden, Norway and Denmark. Later in September and October we finish off our 2007 Europe escapades in Graz, Austria where we team up with a stellar group of friends for a small tribute to the Buddha Machine at the Musikprotokoll.

If you are in the neighborhood of the photo below, drop by at 5pm August 25 for the premier of an FM3 soundinstallation at the Scaniaparken in Malmo - a wonderful grassy knoll designed for live performance and sound art. Details in Svensk here

“With the Buddha Machine, FM3 have unwittingly unleashed a real phenomenon: a unique and acclaimed album, a personal stereo, a musical toy, a Buddhist souvenir and a conceptual commodity offering valuable lessons for our consumption-obsessed times.”

Resident Advisor talks loops with Christiaan Virant.
