More Info

Das wohl erste (?) (bekannt gewordene) chinesische Ambient / Drone-Projekt mit famoser CD in Mort Aux Vaches – Reihe !!

„.... As you can imagine, this is packaged as
beautifully as ever, housed in sparkling patterened brown card with embossed gold text. The music also comes as no surprise; the gorgeous dense and decomposing drones which have made the Buddha Machine so irresistible are here in full force, albeit this time spread across 45 minutes rather than 10 seconds. I don’t need to describe just how compelling this music is, chances are you’ve heard the Buddha Machine loops, left it by your bed at night and drifted into the spiritual world of Chinese Temple drone – if you haven’t then it’s high time you did. Recommended for any fans of the recent Headz releases from Jim O’Rourke and Nikos Veliotis or the addictive realm of William Basinski; this blanket of crystalline sound is something you’ll want to wrap up with no matter what the weather is like.” [Boomkat]
“Packing comes in two kinds of hand screen printed paper from Switzerland and made a sort of first. Hardcover Mort Aux Vaches, printed in the Ukraine, FM3 went into the VPRO studio for their Mort Aux Vaches session in August 2004, right in the middle of a six-month tour of Europe and North America. The session captured the last-ever performance of FM3 material developed for a project at the Louvre museum, and was seen by the band as a definitive version of that particular live set. Following this MaV session, the material was retired and never performed again. Founded by Christiaan Virant in Beijing in 1999, FM3 pioneered avant-garde electronic music in China. Virant works closely with computer musician Zhang Jian, distilling the FM3 sound from traditional Chinese instruments and home-made electronic loop boxes called 'buddha machines'."[press release]
