I like to imagine that Martin relaxes from the stress of the MMX with… labor-intensive composing, performing, mixing, and stop motion animating.

If I’m not mistaken, Martin originally created the stop motion video for StarMachine2000, but didn’t use it in its entirety for the music video. You can see snippets of the stop motion video in the StarMachine2000 music video from several years ago. Moon And Star fits this animation so very well. It is among my favourite tracks Wintergatan has produced.

Not sure if you read comments on older videos. But if you do I wanted to say this song is one of my favorites and as an Astronomer it has inspired my own creative works. We recently celebrated the 100th year anniversary of the Mount Wilson 100 inch Telescope here in Southern California, I used this song as a backdrop while I worked... If you know anything about that telescope your music is ABSOLUTELY fitting. The telescope has a very industrial/ mechanical feel to it with lots of gears and rivets everywhere and a very heavy sense of history with a healthy dose of mystery and fantasy. Its hard to describe but being in that dome and working with that grand old telescope while listening to your music was very literally out of this world. By the way we (my family and I) are HUGE fans and cannot wait for MMX to go on world tour! Keep up the magnificent work!

Martin, this was an amazing impromptu music video. My 2-yr-old loves to re-watch this ever since I showed it to his older brother. He will point to it, say "Moon!" and "Star!" and at the end he'll say "Yay!" and clap his hands. Truly inspirational, entertaining and uplifting for all ages.

When the universe gets sufficiently old, the chance of an incredibly unlikely random vacuum fluctuation to spontaneously cause a big bang and spawn a new universe becomes a near-certainty. Some of these universes will be identical to our own.

Aww...that was a perfect piece for everyone. I loved how you based it on StarMachine 2000(the swing and feel is a bit similar) and really upped your game. Can’t wait for your future videos!

I my mind, this song is right up there with the original marble machine song.

This music feels like being in space and I love it

What a beautiful piece. This one kind of feels like a departure back to Detektivbyran's style, a little bit, which I love.

Brilliant. You are a star Wintergartan. You have created your own unique sound. I hope to hear more of your creations. This song is so uplifting. No doubt, it has helped lift the spirits of many who have heard it.

This song is so sad but beautiful for me! I choose it for the funeral of my younger brother, who committed suicide 2 weeks ago. I´m sure he would love it. Thank you for your music.

Yes - I kept thinking that this HAD to have been related to Telescope in some way.

The same year I was born Buena Vista Social Club released their debut album so I basically grew up listening to it hundreds of times even before I could develop any memories. But the music stuck to me like part of my personality. Since I love your music so much and it suits itself really well, I'm intrigued to give your music the same honor to have that effect on my children. Thank you Martin, you never cease to amaze me with your work. I can't wait to see you on stage with the MMX in it's full glory.

He create, he compose, but most importantly he legos. :) love your stuff

Reminds me of the old days when I was making clay animations with 0.3 Megapixel camera. : - )

I just wanted to say THANK YOU SO MUCH for making this masterpiece of a song. It's absolutely beautiful and haunting, uplifting and melancholy. My absolute favorite song to skip rope to!

I love the new Wintergatan format! Getting a new song each Monday is the best! Keep it up, Martin!

Martin, I loved the animation, but an epilepsy warning, or tuning down the lighting a tiny bit could help.

@@JustSilen Perhaps people who are prone to photo-triggered seizures ought to be careful what they watch. Not everybody on KZread gives epileptic warnings, and I’ve never seen them on TV. These folks need to be careful for their own benefit, since it isn’t possible to expect everybody else to be careful for them. It’s kind of like people with peanut allergies: they can’t expect the world to stop eating peanuts on their behalf.

this is absolutely gorgeous... and the stop motion had me feeling a sense of being lost and finally being found. absolutely amazing. thank you for your hard work wintergaten! keep it up!!

This video made my childhood. Absolutely love it.

The sooner i can hear this song performed live, the better!!

You guys are so creative this is why i love you! Keep up the good work!!

how I missed this in all these years... martin please make more music

Simply amazing!

What a great musical pice to start the week, thanks Martin to give us some joy with your music.

Almost a year ago I made my own Moon and Star from LEGO using the cover art for ‘Moon and Star’ on Spotify as a guide. I keep them in my room and they bring me joy. Thank you for creating this beautiful piece of art, Martin & Hannes :)

Love your music! Thank you for sharing with us!

Great stuff. love the description

I'm so glad you uploaded this,,? It really makes you think

This is my favorite! It is so busy, but each piece adds up so that the whole tune is greater than the sum of its parts. Thank you for bringing your art into this world.

Awesome track! Sounds polished and wonderful! Sometimes those quick tracks that you crank out in a day are the best. Inspiration comes quickly and needs to be captured. Keep up the good work, Martin!

Omg finally a sequel to starmachine 2000 :)

Nice stop motion animation! And I love the song! Another one to the list of my favorites (I look forward to these a lot now)

I can't listen to any of your songs as background music. Every single track deserves the full attention of the listener, every single one is amazing in so many ways. It's amazing what you do Martin please never stop

How is it possible that a throwaway song Martin makes in a day is often some of the best music I’ve heard in months? I’m so excited more the new album. Can’t wait!
