Wintergatan is a Swedish band, and one of the members (the guy in this video) built this crazy machine. He has several videos where he goes through the mechanics of it, and the process of building it. Complete insanity, and so brilliant. :)

Martin Molin is a straight up genius, there is no other way to put it. It's as if Mozart and Nikola Tesla had a child.

You were right -- the wheel is covered with Lego pegs. The positioning of the pegs determine when and where the marbles drop -- much like the holes in a music roll for a player piano. Theoretically, Martin could "program" a different song simply by moving the pegs around. Unfortunately, his machine was so fragile that it broke almost right after they completed the video, so there were no other songs played on it. Martin is currently building a sturdier machine.

Martin is the guy in the video. It took him a year to make this machine and is currently working on The Marble Machine X which he plans to take on a world tour. He is 3 years into making V2

Wintergatan has a lot of songs on bandcamp. He also makes videos on how he builds his instruments, measuring, ordering parts, testing, tweaking. Those are almost if not more interesting than the music videos :)

That was the only song on that version of the machine. He has parts of songs Martin did while working on the MMX. You can hear his final jam session with that version in his 20,000 Marble Test livestream posted on the Wintergatan 2 channel. *Great reaction video btw!* Martin stopped work on the MMX a year ago and has been designing the MM3 using better engineering and design.

The original machine is in museum speelklok in Netherlands last heard has been working on new machine

Hah that moment when he opens up the first lever to allow for the bell melody and people realize Wintergatan is quite the capable artist. And then the dubble whammy when the bassline kicks in. By the way, that friend that recommended this rocks, they have great taste.

Switching it up but still going with a swedish artist. 😅🇸🇪 as a Swede I approve of this reaction streak! 👌🏻 Wintergatan means Milky Way and this was the first/old machine. Hes working on the 2.0 now. 😉

Actually he ditched his second machine after a couple of years of work and right now is working on a third machine. But this time all in CAD so that he can decide if a full machine will work.

Can't wait to see your reaction to the other song like Sommarfågel.... Keep up a good work...

Take a look at Wintergatan channel where he is building the 2.0 version of the Marble Machine, called MMX: kzread.info

Your brain and my brain. One of those mind blowing musical machines? My mind melts even trying to consider putting this together, whew?

Re-calibration
