Unfortunately, the first Marble Machine kept shaking itself apart. It took several takes before they got to this was one take where the machine didn't have problems. It's a very frail instrument. Which is why, when Martin built the Marble-Machine-X, he built it like a tank. But there was just one problem: not all of the parts could be solid and immovable, which meant that if one marble caused a jam … catastrophic failure in the weakest component! He had a lucite pipe, used to direct marbles, full-out explode, and the lifting-mechanism tore itself apart due to a marble-jam. Which is why Martin's on to MM3. And he's learning to be an engineer as well as an artist, to ensure this one works.
You need a better directional microphone meant for this type of work, as opposed to one meant for stage. The variation in volume as you move the mic around is a bit maddening.
He had a working machine years ago, then started redesigning it to be "perfect". He's the proverbial artist who's never satisfied and will be perpetually "refining" because of some perceived flaw - all the while begging viewers for funds to continue his work.

This recording was spliced out of at least 60 takes 😅 its really cool in its edited form
That makes sense. Super epic!
dude is an absolute unit, his base program appears to be perseverance to express beauty via mechanical means
He's currently redesigning every single element to make it perfect.
Amazing! Can’t wait to check it out,
Lessgo Sweden!

Watch a video from him and his Marble Machine X, which is the 2nd version (already scratched and retired, but a steampunk fest)

I have one, was just being lazy that day,

Martin could not stand to have any marbles on the floor lol
