Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
That was legitimately amazing. I can't even fathom coming up with the idea and then having the dedication to make it real.
I just fell down a weird synthy Swedish rabbit hole for the last hour or so. That was super cool.
Well that was a lot more amazing than I was prepared for.
Took me a little bit to realize he was playing the bass and it wasn't just overdubbed.
Fantastic stuff
For anyone who is curious about how much post-production audio work was done ( how it sounds so good), here's a bit from one of his making of videos that shows how the built-in mics help isolate the sounds: https://youtu.be/S27Inwu-w6Q?t=1m14s
I once made a horn sound by blowing on the top of a bottle.
Wooden gears! marbles!! Ok Go has got some serious competition in the creativity department! I gotta see how he made this!
Holy crap, I didn't realize till looking at the other videos that the whole machine is programable!
So exciting to see this video take off. Please go check out and support his other projects. His music is just a brilliant as this machine. https://detektivbyran.bandcamp.com/ https://wintergatan.bandcamp.com/album/wintergatan
I loved the filming trick of adding the black marble so we could see its progression through the machine, and the very fact that marbles are rolling all over the floor at the end made me feel like it was still organic.
