If you are watching this in 2023 :) thank you, i hope i can build another better machine in the future :) We just turned my music box sound into a virtual instrument, check out the video here: ukposts.info/have/v-deo/ooCmfn2OboSm26M.html Speldosa is available as AU/VST/AAX: klevgrand.com And on App Store for Ipad and Iphone: apps.apple.com/us/app/speldosa/id6446171628

I hope UKposts continues to randomly recommend this forever

Takes a lot of balls to play this instrument..

This.... This is content. Why did it take youtube 8 years to recommend this.

I sit my 2 year old grandson on my lap, and we listen to this before his nap. He watches and listens intensely. We are both energized, yet soothed. Thank you, sir.

People: "What instrument do you play?" Him: "a whole band"

When you can't decide you want to be an engineer or a musician.

Here it is 2024, 8 years after this was originally posted and it still blows my mind. The musical timing and the mechanics behind it are just incredible.

This is still one of the most impressive things I've seen in 38 years on this planet

this is one of those videos that should be put in a time capsule. this creativity, being able to make something new, this is humanity in its purest form.

*"So, I heard you play. What instrument?"* *"The marble."*

How tf has this been up for 8 YEARS and I've never seen it?! THAT is PURE GENIUS! There is nothing like mechanical ingenuity!

I'm back again. I swear I come back to this so much over the last 5 years or so. It's so amazing.

This looks like something you would see in a Dr. Seuss Book

This is the guy about who all those mathproblems concerning marbles are.

This video is so nostalgic to me because I would watch this all the time with my older brother when we were younger.

I cannot belive this is already 8 years old and still such a great video

This guys looks and acts like he’s a steampunk time traveler

His mom: He should be an engineer. His dad: No he should be a musician. Him:

I remember watching this when I was 7 on my dad's laptop and I kept... And kept listening to it. And vibing to this song

4 Years Old. The first time I watched this video. Coming back again being 10 Years Old, Just really brings back memories.

Teacher: Please don’t make any noise after you finish the test Mfs in the back of the class:

If you look closely, you can see him smile as he walks off set, it’s a beautiful creation and he’s a wonderful musician

Who would have had the idea, the ingenuity, the tenacity, the talent, the money, of course, the preparation, etc., etc., to design, build, learn to operate this brilliant musical machine. My respects. Congratulations. 🙂👍

I was born in the 1960s, I am watching this in March of 2024, one day I will be dead and gone, but I hope someone reads my comment...this is awesome!!

This looks like what would be a DJ set in a steam punk world

UKposts randomly put this legendary video on my recommendation and now I'm in tears. Bro 8 years ago????

The complexity of it all is mind blowing.

Oh how I miss the old era of UKposts

When you want to be in a band but also don't like people

Even after 8 years, this instrument is still futuristic.

This is my favorite hype song, any day I'm really feeling like celebrating.... going to work, dancing at my wedding, on my way home for my birthday party...it's such a good time

In 100 years history will witness this amazing masterpiece of music instrument man has ever made.

Friend: What instrument do you play? Him: Well, it’s complicated

I came back 4 years later to see this again. I’m glad I did

I remember seeing this amazing work of engineering on the show Outrageous Acts of Science years ago. To this day, I still revisit the song. Thank you for making something so amazing and timeless.

this should be played at the Grammys to show the world AND the artists that there are so many more ways to make beautiful music !! Fantastic!

I just think it's neat how the noises from the machine's operation like the cranks and switches are just as much a part of the song as any of the actual notes

This is one of those timeless parts of the internet that you just find yourself watching over and over again.

Been watching this for 4+ years, never gets old

It combines technology and percussion. Two of my favorite things

"What do you want to do when you grow up?" "Play with marbles. Lots of marbles."

Not only is this a marvel of engineering, it's also an excellent song

The music by itself is so good but the fact that this machine is making it is crazy 😮😮

It was. It is. It always will be. A MASTER PIECE!

"The time you enjoy wasting, is not wasted time."

This looks like something straight out of a Ghibli movie. Fairytale-like. Breathtaking

I used to listen to this back in my childhood in our old house and listening to this again paired with how the machine sounds makes me nostalgic for those times...

April 2024, anyone??

The most crazy part about it is that it isn't just the most elaborate music box. There is a need for the player to actively play the guitar, pull the correct levers at the correct time, and then there is intermission. This is not just a feat of engineering but also a true display of skill.

He really looks like a weird character in a movie and it’s cool af

Its April 2024. From reading previous comments, I gather this was done a while ago. But I find this SO AMAZING. I cant help wondering how this came to be. Im thinking it may have started as just one functional thing and then got other components added on over time. But it also seems so organized and thought out (to the point where no marbles/bearings end up on the floor!!) and how the electric and acoustic elements seem so interwoven so tightly. Its like a combination player-piano / pinball (pachinko) machine / hybrid musical instrument (like the synth-axe-drummitar!) / Rube Goldberg macine - all in one THING. Just incredible!!

Can't believe it's already been 8 years. There's something so... touching about this melody it kinda makes me want to cry in a good way every time I listen to it. P.s. I also love your Sommarfågel :)

"What instrument do you play?" - it's complicated

I remember my dad showing me this when I was 11. He was like "Whoa check this crazy marble machine out!!" I couldn't get enough of it, I'd watch this on repeat.

Я в восторге!!! Техника на грани фантастики! Нет , это фантастика в действии! Молодцы авторы!!!

Genius + Insanity. I hope this has continued onto more of similar stuff since this release.

If this machine isn't in a museum, it needs to be. Not only is it a gorgeous synergy of art and engineering, it's a cultural and internet icon.

Meanwhile I cannot make a plane out of paper :/

Ось чому я користуюсь UKposts, заради таких відео. Дякую!

Теперь ты можешь один играть практически любую музыку одновременно на разных инструментах - отличное изобретение, наверняка жто было невероятно трудно построить

This guy is literally a character Alice would meet down the rabbit hole.

- Do you play any instruments? - Yes! - Cool, what is it? - Marbles.

So many people are just now learning of this and it’s wild to see, my teacher showed us this for music class like a week after this video was posted.

Observation 1: Animusic in real life. Observation 2: as a Darkhorse Podcast fan, I now understand.

If the internet makes a time capsule, this should go in there.

Someone: “What is your favorite instrument?” Me: *_”Its complicated...”_*

It's good to see Beck broadening his musical realms

i come back to this every once in a while. it's so fun to revisit as a little treat

Person: what instrument do you play? This guy: *marbles*

"What Instruments do you play"? "Yes"

Listening 8 years later, and it is still mesmerizing as the first time

My kid went to a dance camp a few years ago. It was 'music in motion' and highlighted the music. I was so happy there was a dance to this!

Teacher: Look, playing with marbles in class won't get you anywhere in life. _him 10 years later_

The sounds from pulling the levers have become part of the song for me at this point.

Super, super cool piece of gear and what a wonderful imagination! I love Wintergan videos! As of recently, I've been looking around UKposts to see what kinds of things people are doing with old tech and in particular, music related. I have an unlisted video where I'm using a Commodore 64 to play a synth solo over one of my instrumental pieces. Should be made public and discoverable in less than a week. The Commodore has the SID chip inside, which is part of what made it a great seller back when, starting in around '82. I'm playing my C64 via a guitar volume pedal at my foot to transition through scale notes. The pedal is connected to the joystick/paddle port on the paddle pins. Scales are stored in a que and selected by the computer keyboard during playtime. Hopefully, the vintage computing community will think it's as cool as I think it is. The software is 99.98% my creation. Thanks for this video!! It's quite inspiring to others in like-minded engineering.

When I was about 8, 9 years old, I had a reoccurring dream where a drop of something fell into a funnel that ignited a machine. Then, this machine started moving, puffing and working, and I'd wake up with an awful sensation of watching something that didn't have an ending. I'm autistic and I have a terrible need for closure. I felt so bad with those dreams that I'd feel nauseous through the entire day, and they happened quite often. Once I grew up, the dreams stopped, but I still remember those in particular because my need for closure was never met. Today, April 17th, 2024, I just found this video. I feel like this was the machine I was dreaming about. I finally have closure. Thank you so much for this.

Will never not love the lack of hesitation when he walks off at the end. You can tell he's practiced a thousand times

4.5 years later, and I am still showing this in every single class I teach to show students what ambition and passion mean.

Most miraculous music box EVER!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

It looks like every single instrument combined together

When you are musician but your parents want you to be an enginer :

"I want to be a musician!!" Mother: " You will be an engineer and that's final"

That ain’t no instrument, that’s a piece of art

My class saw this in kindergarten and it was truly amazing and it still is

The last 30 seconds left me in chills when he just straight up left the machine running and the piece ended perfectly, amazing job.

what’s incredible to me is how primitive this looks in comparison to the new one. amazing.

THIS IS MY CHILDHOOD!

A years worth of work for a 5 minute video

When you want to be a musician but your parents want you to become an engineer.

“So what do you do for a living?” “I’m a musician.” “Cool, what instrument do you play?” “Marbles”

Getting away from the machine and how it works (and how amazing is this guy creativity) this song is a banger. Honestly, I vibe to this so hard. Peak of humanity.

This video popped up again in my news feed in 2024. No matter how many times I watch this, I am still an awe thinking about the mechanics and physics and planning to make this instrument and then the amount of practice needed to be able to pull off this video

I'm glad after 7 years this video is still getting much deserved appreciation

This is going to be in museums 300 years from now like a musical Mona lisa

Yes, im also here

Lol, this is how it felt playing the quads on the steel pan in junior high.

This is one of those things called “internet history”

So this is the guy who buys hundreds of marbles in math problems.

The level of creativity and ingenuity is mind-blowing. And the music is damn addicting.
