One of my amazing gifts was a fourth generation Buddha Machine. If you aren't familiar with the Buddha Machine, they are somewhat hard to describe despite their simplicity. The little rascal's creators, Christiaan Virant and Zhang Jian are a music/design duo based in China. The two create minimal meditative music that loops seamlessly and repeatedly. Nine of these simple compositions are then housed in a little plastic box with a built-in speaker. Other features of the box include an eighth-inch jack (for headphones and such) and two control dials; one for volume and one for pitch shifting. The pitch shift ability is an amazingly intimate feature as you can really tune the music in to your own frequency to find that perfect harmony between man and his machine!
Not only is this a unique and wonderful gift idea for anyone, but it is a splendid therapy and could be the key to severe peace for everyone.
