FM3
It takes us forever to get to the club. Some ramshackle place on the outskirts of Beijing. A friend of a friend is playing. Not exactly playing. More like directing.
People around the room sit listening intently to ipod-sized boxes while Christian and his band-mate hold up cards to give silent instructions. Blue + 3 means all those holding a blue box should set it to play track three. Red + X means all with red boxes should turn their boxes off.
The boxes are Buddha Boxes, designed by the band FM3. Each box has a number of different recordings of Buddhist chants. Fans bring their own boxes to the show and participate in an interactive performance directed by FM3. People get really involved, and there is little conversation going on during the show.
