Not only does Martin Molin write and play the music, he designs and builds the instruments. Martin is currently building another marble machine that is an order of magnitude more complex. Follow its development at the Wintergatan channel on Youtube and the Wintergatan Website. Nice is overrated "It's every freedom-loving individual's duty to lie to the government."

That's the best. The adventure he's having making the new one is great to watch. There's a chance I'd go to see them in person if the tour comes to Seattle. ____________________________________________________ The butcher with the sharpest knife has the warmest heart. | |||

No. The rotating drum shown at 1:29 is programmablish by resetting the metal pins. Nice is overrated "It's every freedom-loving individual's duty to lie to the government." Airsoftguy, June 29, 2018 | |||

Wow. I clicked on the link and then disappeared down the rabbit hole for an hour. That guy is a freakin' genius! Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent. | |||

He's obviously pretty good at programming that computer-driven wood cutter! Making perfect gears with one can't be all that easy. flashguy Texan by choice, not accident of birth | |||

I believe I saw in one of his videos that the Animusic video was an inspiration for his marble machine. flashguy Texan by choice, not accident of birth | |||

Amazing. Thank you. But now where’s the obligatory comment about someone with “too much time on his hands” by a poster whose idea of creativity is to put vodka rather than gin in his martini?  ► 6.4/93.6 “I regret that I am to now die in the belief, that the useless sacrifice of themselves by the generation of 1776, to acquire self-government and happiness to their country, is to be thrown away by the unwise and unworthy passions of their sons, and that my only consolation is to be, that I live not to weep over it.” — Thomas Jefferson | |||

At 8:30 he mentions it and shows some antique music machines. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMAVajTZHCs ____________________________________________________ The butcher with the sharpest knife has the warmest heart. | |||

The human creature is an amazing animal. Marble music machines, landing on the moon, physics, it's incredible. Then there's people like me, we're just along for the ride. Lover of the US Constitution Wile E. Coyote School of DIY Disaster | |||
