Buddha Machine Variations No. 7 (True Gristle)

Today’s home-office ambience: six Buddha Machines (including two of the first generation and one from each of the subsequent four generations), plus a guest star in the form of the somewhat less meditative Gristleism box, which is the black square one on the right. Gristleism was a 2009 collaboration between Buddha Machine creators FM3 and the band Throbbing Gristle. Note that, in true Buddha Machine style, the battery on the green one was starting to go (following a weekend of significant modular-synthesizer effort), which is why the light turns on and then suddenly off at one point.
