Wintergatan - Marble Machine (music instrument using 2000 marbles) #TheWintergatanStory | Wintergatan

"Wintergatan Marble Machine" by Swedish musician Martin Molin is a hand-cranked music box loaded with instruments including a circuit of 2,000 cascading steel marbles. As the devices cycles it activates a vibraphone, bass, kick drum, cymbal and other instruments that play a score programmed into a 32 bar loop comprised of LEGO technic parts. The marbles are moved internally through the machine using funnels, pulleys, and tubes. This video is a first test pattern on the Cyber Bass. 🎱 #Wintergata

Martin Molin, Wintergatan , built the first version of his marble machine by hand. In plywood. Without drawings. The second machine inherited the problems from the first and now he’s many years down the line, drawing his third machine, in the hopes of taking it on a world tour.
