 ABSTRACT

The huge music box

consists of a mechanical
structure of wheels, belts,
funnels, paths and sculpted
wood components to capture
and re-rout marbles.
The roll and beat against a
vibraphone, drum and bass, activate
them and produce sounds that are
regulated at any moment. The
computer is also programmable, and
you can change the music melodies
when you're playing. Molin was
called MacGyver for the ingenuity of
his friends and still designed his
instruments himself
A multi-Instrumentalist from the band Wintergatan

(who gives its name to the marble machine). He

designed an accordion, an autoharp, a glockenspiel

and another wacky tool, and this ambitious machine

has now come up for him. Inspired by the current

subculture of the marble machine, it took the inventor

more than two years to complete this musical box,

which comprises up to 3000 handcrafted parts.

He has filmed all the methods in short YouTube
clips so that you can see him in his studio,
creating the Flywheel, choose the size of the
teeth on wooden machines, measure marble
raising mechanisms and plug pins into the wheel.
This part of the Marble Machine is a grid that
functions as an analogue MIDI version. Move
plastic pins around on the 22 wheel tracks and
shift notes. It's confusing almost
incomprehensibly. A violin is attached to the
gears that lead to spinning belts that transport
marble that drops to xylophone keys and then
falls in the funnels.
Apart from receiving many YouTube
views, I think another possible use for
this gadget would be for stuff like shows
or something else where you put up a
stand and attempt to get people's
attention. Marble Machine X and the
improved version of the marble divider
mechanism is a complete revision of the
original, intended to be more stable for a
world tour. [Martin] has fully refurbished
the elevating system by using magnets to
grasp the balls from the return bin and
feed them to a complex splitter
 RECOMMENDATIONS

As a side note, watching a guitarist sneak while debugging a technical

dilemma is fun and amusing. And it does not stop there! Now Martin

Molin and his Wintergatan band are working on a new marble engine

known as "Marble Machine X." A team of developers and artists helps

them. It would be much larger and stronger than the first Marble Unit!

And of much advantage/efficiency using the recent discovery of the

marble divider mechanism.
