    Marble Machine: Final Boss Version

      Hmm, I'd say the inspirational cutscene that plays right before the final boss.

    • @MildMisanthropeMaybeMassive
      @MildMisanthropeMaybeMassive 7 лет назад +11

      I'd say this song fits the early 90's style end cutscene with still images, text, credits and text that come after defeating the final boss.

      @youtubeuser3343 7 лет назад +2

      The cutscene where the boss manifests and assembled into the giant cosmic entity

    Success is a funny thing. Most of the time it is measured in terms of profits, how much money did you make. But when you write a piece of music, or paint a vision, or take an amazing photograph, and it is appreciated by so many people, and in the case of a piece of music like this it is replicated and performed a hundred different ways, that too is surely success. Inspiring others to create something special is a wonderful accomplishment.

      I agree with you for the most part, except when you say that most of the time, success is measured in terms of profits. The most profitable companies/"artists"/"singers" will probably not be well remembered in history.

  • @lo-firobotboy7112
    @lo-firobotboy7112 7 лет назад +6

    This makes me happy!!
    I have a 600-pipe organ that I salvaged from an old church. The console was built in 1922. The pipes and other components were sourced from around the world and date from 1918 to 1989. I'm hopping to reassemble it in such a way that it can be played manually OR via MIDI. "Marble Machine" will definitely be one of the first tracks programmed into it's memory banks.
    Cheers!

    LOL, the last time I was at this museum they had this grand machine programmed to play "Happy" by Pharrell Williams (through a MIDI interface, I think). We were told in the tour that the final "clank" with the cybals is a confirmation that the machine has shut down.

      Well. To be honest. The pipe organs are dying here in The Netherlands. Less and less people tend to give money to it and less and less of it is being seen on the streets. I can remember a time it was in the town square two to three times a week. Now it's like only twice a month if lucky.

  • @Lahbreca

      @Cissy2cute 7 лет назад +2

      I think because it just has a happy tone to it. Maybe syncs with the pleasure neurons in the brain? You have an inquiring mind similar to mine.

    • @Lahbreca
      @Lahbreca 7 лет назад +1

      Good hypothesizing, Cissy, but it also brings up more questions. What do we find as "happy sounds", and why? How can a sound give us pleasure? And what are we actually doing when we listen to music anyway?
      Sometimes a simple tune like this sticks with you, despite it's simplicity.
      Other times a piece captivates you by it's majestic complexity.
      It's really hard, or maybe impossible to tell why exactly a certain melody sounds nice, where another one sounds ugly ;p

    • @Cissy2cute
      @Cissy2cute 7 лет назад

      Lahbreca - The biggest question that I often ponder is why we humans seem to have an innate need for music/rhythm. The origins of course are lost in the mists of time but there is something in us which seeks, or possibly demands, that we want and need sounds that are rhythmic in nature. One could say it had to do with survival somehow, but I think it goes much deeper than that.

  • @RobertMilesAI

  • @suicidal.session

    I feel like the reason this sounds so epic right now is because this version from this single machine sounds like a combination of all the covers we've had of MM including the 8-bit ones, the floppatron ones, etc.

      Funny you should say that: that exact organ usually plays 'Thriller' when it is demonstrated on tours in the Museum Speelklok.

    shame im a few months late to hear it.

    That was wonderful, and - without cranking it loud enough to wake up the sleeping roommate - the sound on the recording was BEAUTIFUL. While I might wish the drum with the floppy head was a bit firmer, and the snare a bit louder, overall it was clean and beautiful.
    Thank you!

    Fun fact: the bass drum / cymbal actions are "pressure dump", "deflate to play" actions... meaning they are kept charged with air as long as the pumps are running, and when the signal comes for that instrument to play, the air supply is cut off and the pressure dumped out of the pneumatic through a large valve, causing the spring to force the movable leaf of the pneumatic (with the drum beater) shut, playing the drum or cymbal.
    The reason for using this type of action is because it's much faster to deflate a pneumatic (and use the spring to play it) than to inflate it with air pressure, especially when it comes to moving the large and heavy bass drum beater. Even still, the bass drum track is usually advanced a little bit in the music so it hits in time with the rest of the music (this is still as true of MIDI as it is with the cardboard music).
    This constantly inflated "pressure dump" system,
    is the reason why you hear the bass drum and cymbal play at the end of the piece... because the pumps are turned off, causing the air to bleed out of the system enough that the springs close, playing the drum and cymbal beaters. This is normal and happens in these instruments whenever the pumps are turned off / organ shut off.
    The other percussions (two snare drum and two wood block beaters, and probably the castanets if present) have a similar principle... they are "inflate and deflate to play", so they are normally shut with the beaters close to the instrument, and music track actually causes the small valve to open, which primes the beater to raise up before the beat, and then the cut off of the track is the actual percussion hit. With most of these designs, the beaters usually hit a stop or rest rail when they snap shut, with the spring action of the beater wire and inertia of the beater ball causing the beater to slightly overshoot, hit the instrument, and bounce off, allowing it (the snare drum or wood block) to resonate.
    This is explained and illustrated in the book "The Fairground Organ: Its Music, Mechanism, and History" by Eric V. Cockayne, which has many great diagrams of mechanisms etc.
    Of course the great advantage of MIDI is being able to tweak the percussion parts (using the instrument to test it) until the percussion hits line up just right. Book music doesn't give you that luxury, although a test book can establish the delay rate of each percussion...and that standard ratio / offset can be factored in when punching the book out. That's how they did it in the old days, anyway, and it generally worked fine!

    A lovely tune sounds just as if it's a celebration of the life of the organs from that era. Makes me smile and amazed how theas instruments have survived so long.
