The marvelous musical Marble Machine

Wintergatan is a Swedish band, and just in February 29th, released a very original music video. Here you can see their Marble Machine, a masterpiece motorized music box taken to the next level, a Rube-Goldberg-one-man-band machine.

I cannot praise this guy enough. He spent 14 months designing, building and assembling 3000 parts, with 2000 marbles run though 22 different tracks, to combine the sounds of a vibraphone, kick drum, cymbal, and bass. Playing this box is way more complicated than just moving a lever to wind it up.

Listen beautiful relax classics on our Youtube channel.

We also have a few pics from the whole procedure behind the scenes. The video was filmed by Swedish Filmmaker Hannes Knutsson from Lefvande Bilder. See more of Wintergatan on their website, FacebookYoutube where you can find videos of all the steps in the procedure to build this Marbel Machine and how it works. You can also get the soundtrack on Bandcamp.
