Bastard offspring of now-famous ambient loop player the Buddha Machine, the Gristleism is part Industrial sound machine, part noise instrument.Featuring 13 original and uncompromising loops, the Gristleism delivers a mix of signature TG experimental noise, industrial drone, and classic melodies and rhythms.

This palm-sized unit (size: W 67mm x H 69mm x D 35mm) features a built-in speaker, volume control, pitch-shift control and loop selector switch. The Gristleism features more loops and almost twice the frequency range of the Buddha Machine. GRISTLEISM is powered by 2 x AA batteries and is the world's first and only portable TG aural exciter. The Gristleism was born from a collaboration between Industrial Records, Throbbing Gristle and Christiaan Virant, the creator of the original FM3 Buddha Machines.

The Gristleism comes packaged in a exquisite chinese paper-cut wrapping, featuring a repeating TG logo pattern, foil embossing and UV ink.
