- To build Marble Machine X we start by revisiting the first machine and taking some measurements. Karin, Olof and Marius are helping me out and they are working on the first CAD model of the Machine in Fusion 360 and these measurements is our starting point.
I have created a open idea photo sharing page where you can share your sketches with ideas for the Marble Machine X here:

Looking forward to seeing your ideas!
All the best and have a nice day everyone,
/Martin

If you want to support:
The fact that you are watching the videos and care about the music and future of Wintergatan is the best support anyone can have, I want to thank everyone who is here for that kind of support, it is really the fuel for the Wintergatan Engine.
Why do we accept support in this way?
I, Martin, can already sustain myself 100% doing what I love to do. If you want to support artists/organisations who have not yet reached that privileged position, please consider supporting other artists/organisations who need the support more. With that said, I have too many ideas and too little time and with your support I can get more help from people around me to execute the ideas better and bring them out in the world faster.

This started as a music channel and it's slowly turning into an engineering channel. I approve of this.
it's both now
Cristi Neagu Science and Art are never far apart.
Take Fractals for example. Infinite sequences create objects of infinite complexity, which can look very beautiful.
That would be incredibly hard and maybe 6 or more balls because it could be somewhat like a multitrack midi
I think its more a design thing rather than engineering.
I laughed when he destroyed the coaster and stared at it and said "why did I do that?" hahaha
Bluempire17 hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah

I would occasionally have days like that when doing computer program development. I leaned to NEVER delete a file no matter how useless the contained notes or code seemed to be at the time. Move it to another folder, but do NOT delete! ;-)
3:25 for lazy
`git stash` and `git stash pop`
Rip cork coaster. You are gone, but not forgotten.
hahaha! Abolutely not forgotten!
When you place it into the museum you have to make a plaque:
"In Memory of Cork Coaster, *2016 ✝2017"
+dies200 LOL
Idk *who* could forget it after that XD
press f to pay respects
I kinda liked the wooden gears sound in the first machine, it was a part of the song for me.
The thing was, the original sound was *extremely loud*, actually louder than the music. They were able to get the actual music by putting very focused pickup microphones on the individual instruments and doing a lot of post-processing to get the levels and sounds right; the actual sound of the machine you would hear if you were standing next to it would mostly be *[GEAR NOISES INTENSIFY]*
I can see where the sound of the mechanism
may interfere, but in my opinion, some NEEDS
to be there.
Tubes on the Vibraphone would be awesome,
since I REALLY like the sound effect of a
Leslie speaker. (Which is a very similar device.)
steev
Don't worry, mechanical sounds will still be there, just like you hear buttons on an accordion or the bow on a violin, it just won't be as loud as before.
I mean, if you're not gonna have all the little extra sounds the instrument makes you may as well just use a synthesizer.
Well honestly a physical noise is different than one made synthetically. As close as they can be, an instrument just has more personality, because the sound is tailored by the instrument itself.
Swedes speaking english to eachother is my favourite thing
Skwisgaar Skwigelf approves.
That's what I was surprised about! Does every swede speak english?!
Ponda Pretty much. Sweden's percentage of fluent English speakers is one of the highest of all non-English speaking countries.
They are doing it for the viewers.
@Ponda. Pretty much everyone under the age of 40 in Finland, Norway, Sweden and Denmark speaks fluent English
I actually liked sounds the old gears made. I thought it gave the machine a lot of character!
They need to misalign the gears on purpose.
but if you actually listened to the marble machine, the gears were so loud it'd just mostly be *[CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK]* instead of music. martin had to do a shitload of post-processing and carefully placed mikes to get the music.
If you were there in person, you would probably agree they should be toned down quite a bit. Like others have said, most of the sounds were taken out and processed individually so you could actually hear the vibraphone. Perfectly cut gears will also just plain work better, and hopefully lead to fewer malfunctions.
It's not like the new gears will be completely silent. I'm sure they'll still make some noise, but hopefully they won't be deafeningly loud like the old ones were.
@@RedRocky54 Its true. Even made with CNC, these new gears should be far from silent.
This the first time I've ever seen an active artist continue on a project of this caliber. I'm absolutely hyped to see the new machine, as this is one of the most brilliant things I have ever seen in music. Thank you.
Don't you just love it when the internet helped catalyze such cooperation within the world to create beautiful things?
BrokenLifeCycle That’s exactly what fascinated me most about all this. It’s going to be something made with the sum of multiple efforts from different people and minds, which is the way really good things are made
That's what the internet was made for. It's sad that it isn't use for this kind of stuff more often.
"why did i do that" wintergatan 2017
heheheheheh... :D
My life summed up in five words
Hehe. Yeeeea.
2017 to present
I'm very excited for this proyect, I love your creations and your creativity. Never stop playing music and I wish you the best of luckies.
thank you!
@@Wintergatan Martin, listen to your engineers at 6:06. You could have saved yourself a lot of pain.
@@Wintergatan Someday you should be a band organ designer.
Martin, I read that you are afraid of long videos. Well... Don't worry about it. Your videos are both interesting and informative. It means that 13 minutes are spent. Not wasted. This is a big difference.
Thanks for everything you do.

i love the 1st marble machine, why?
it looks and made by someone really enthusiastic about what he loves, sure it isn't perfect ,looks like it is made in his garage,by using a lot of part that looks like taken and scraped from anywhere he could find ,it's extremely rough around the edges ,
but damn that is this machine's charm , it doesn't look good,but it works, sure it isn't efficient but it really does gets the job done and that is the most important part, and that is the part that make anyone proud, and that alone is already worth all the work ,pain, struggle ,time.
it is brimming with potential, brimming with personality and passion of the one who builds it,it clearly shows all the sweat,care,love,tears and effort were put into it .
and most importantly, seeing marble machine,reminded me of myself and what i wanted to be in the future, something that i wanted to achieve,doing or making something that makes me feels independent, making something that's respected and appreciated by everyone.
thank you for creating marble machine, it gave me inspiration and a new outlook for my life.
You are what our world needs
Better marble machine?! YAAAY!
The first one broke down and had to be constantly adjusted and wasnt transportable. The new one will be built to go on tour and play live on stage!
okay THAT is really cool! o.o
Wintergatan are you dutch? If youre im to 🤗
Swedish! But i was in Utrecht when i visited the museujm that gave me the idea for the marble machine (Spielklook museum)
I assumed as much when you mentioned Dutch museum: "Museum van speelklok tot pierement" in Utrecht (not far from my town) would be a great place for it, and I would pay it a visit sometime.
Haven't been there since I was a kid.
Your work is absolutly marble..ous ;)
MrTojimon booooooo xD
MrTojimon C'MON! One more pun and I will lose my *marbles*!!!!
WHEN WILL IT END
Jeff never
Get out...
you have created magic. everything positive about the internet is represented by this machine. it is magic
So wonderful to see the groundswell of enthusiasm and joy this project has created. Such a beautifully generous and collaborative effort. I wish you all success and the joys of discovery and problem solving.
Very nice comment!
Thanks! its such a joy to witness such creativity and musicality and its global reach . we need more of this and less of the ugly world of politics.
if the marble machine ends up in the museum/a museum in the netherlands i'll make sure to pay a visit to it :). Absolute fan of it, so innovative. I'm a student at the TuDelft and for our new project(which involves office workers, relaxation and mechanics) they showed the wintergatan music video for inspiration as well. If the marble machine x is finished please do a concert in the Netherlands
This is one of the most interesting channels of all time. I look forward to seeing the new machine!
Thank you so much for saying this. Everytime i publish a video i always get nervous about using up other peoples precious time with waffleing videos and reading comments like this helps letting go of that preoccupation!
Wintergatan
Hey, i love all your videos, I find your love for what you do (and by you i mean all the people involved) very inspiring. It's obvious that you put all your effort into making your music and that in return it fills you in a very deep level. I think these kinds of videos are amazing and it's nice to see all the work you put into it.
I watch every video you make at least 5 times. These are the best.
You are too humble but I think you can rest assured we find your efforts interesting (51K views in less than a day) and rewarding. And you have thousands and thousands of new friends who wish you well. And this includes all of Wintergatan. Well deserved. xo
Wintergatan, don't worry about wasting our time, it's our choice how we waste it. Just keep producing art. You, by your nature and passion will find it almost impossible to produce "waffleing" videos or bad art.
I have a feeling this "you" should include the folks traveling with you (singular :) on this adventure. The inspiration generated here is fantastic and the art, phenomenal.
A tip on making good videos, even though yours involve sound heavily,. review the video without sound. Does it still "make sense"? Does it still flow? This tends to show the random unconscious movements that distract from what you're trying to say.
As both a woodworker and an audiophile, I applaud this kind of creative intersection between engineering/design and music. I find the visual aspect to watching these devices make music to greatly enhance the appreciation of what goes into making the music itself. For many non-musicians, the process of creating music can be quite opaque and hard to imagine being involved in, but seeing these interesting machines produce such sophisticated music makes it tangible and relatable in a way that is very enjoyable.
I am reminded of a large-scale display at the Museum of Science in Boston that I saw as a child that used a variety of simple machines and had a musical element involved, still a nice memory decades later. Thanks for these creations, and I hope your future work goes well.
Hannes rules!
Indeed!! CHeck out his "Trainerds" RUclips channel for more Hannes!
On the marble catcher, easier, but more importantly most reliable would be my recommended priority. When you are on the road and the machine is getting the snot pounded out of it you are going to want it to be as reliable as possible. I would recommend a single marble catcher, but have it be clear so you can see the marbles going in and bouncing around before they get directed to the out tube.
Actually, a single catcher with walls and compartments that could be a good compromise. Once you've caught the marble, you could do something interesting inside the compartment, trigger a letter jump or similar, to keep the visual indication from the individual funnels, while still going with a more robust and rigid design.
+CoderCandy Maybe having a transparent catcher where each marvle coming from a vibraphone plate has a flap (rubber, paper, something like that) facing the player in its way, which folds down when the marble goes through.
William Hayden You could have LED lights that get triggered when a ball hits the vibrophone. Maybe optical or ultrasonic sensors that would detect the keys(?) vibrating. If it was done like that the lights would slowly dim as the vibration lessens, which would look really cool.
SuperFrodo95 The options are literally endless, but the more added to the machine the more complex it becomes and this machine ultimately needs to be as simple as possible. Simplicity directly translates to reliability. Remember this machine will be taken apart, packed, moved, unpacked and reassembled countless times by people that aren't necessarily delicate in their actions due to time and stress.
SuperFrodo95 as of now it feels really nonelectronic. I really like that, and feel like leds would ruin the effect.
You're so adorable when you're in the zone, and the passion you guys have for this project is astounding!
does anyone else feel calm when watching his videos?
this is one of the most artistic channels out there, I swear
This is so cool to watch after everything he's been working on for almost 3 years... god I can't wait to see this project be finished.
I only discovered marble machine yesterday, and today I am already addicted to the sound and to the actual music.... You've been making my day, wintergatan.
Oh my gosh, I have no words. I have so much love for the marble machine.
I love this machine so much ever since I found it. You are very inspirational.
"Fantastic martin ~WAY~ to Go" that got me laughing so hard
Aipom Schnitzenwhitzle haha genious
I just LOVE these progress videos, I just find it so satisfying that you aren't going silent and keeping us engaged, and it's so amazing to see the progress if the machine.
I am blown away by your inventiveness.
lmao "why did I do that?" please stop compulsively destroying your old creation lol
HE SOUNDED SO SAD I WANTED TO CRY.
Damn, this is the only RUclips channel I actually enjoy. Keep it up you guys! Can't wait to see a new version of such an amazing machine.
I was just watching the Marble Machine music video and was reminded about your question of funnels for the vibraphone. I say, use both, have individual funnels for each note, but also make a catch that is lower and will catch any marbles that miss the first funnels. You will get the visualization that you are looking for and also keep all the marbles contained.
I love the continual updates, it really adds to my love for the marble machine and the band!
Why did I do that?
Poor guy LOL
You could see the sadness on his face...
... and the horror on Karin's and Olof's face.
It's so cool to see another series of incredible machine (re)creation.
watching this in 2021 and seeing how far he's come with the MMX.
Thank you for making the world a more musical place!
Why do people dislike this stuff, there is so much effort in these videos, the music is beautiful, I just don’t understand it.
This thing is truly a MARBLE of engineering. ^^
Excellent editing
the original marble machine music (brought off iTunes) is my daily morning alarm .... i think i've listen to the music over 200 times easy LOVE IT SO MUCH i never get sick of listening to it ...
AWH, a long video again! Just what I needed!
Im always so worried when the videos gets over 8 minutes that they are too long! Thanks Noemi!!
Wintergatan You really shouldn't! These are my absolute favourites! And I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels that way ⭐️
I love your long videos too, haha! I also love it when you show bits and pieces of the Swedish landscape. Someday maybe I'll come visit it!
Martin, if you only knew back then what you know now about the new MMX
Your jobs are amazing, you are a true artist, and the definition of free man. You are an inspiration
I love the machine! The music is the best! I listened to it on repeat a million times.
As a coaster replacement would another type of coaster work?
the semi hard fiber/cellulose like coasters you see at bar's/pub's for glasses. You can get personalized ones with art on them, might add some interesting flair to the machine.
If only I could subscribe to this channel again! absolutely love the engineering going into making this kind of music. Wish I could help but building sets and performing in shows is taking enough time already. Maybe I'll sketch something in my tea breaks!
I love that we get to see more of how the original machine worked. Like the rice in the snare drum
Man, I just wanted to say that your job creating amazing things is incredibly awesome. It really inspires me, and I feel very good following your work, and having the opportunity to see at least little bit of what your amazing mind can create. It really inspires me, and gets me happy. Really, thank you for all that you've done, it's really great to see it all.
Cheers from Brazil!
they are so awkward around each other. Cute nerds.
That's scandinavians for you :D
I love nerds I want friends like them because I'm literally the only science guy at school 😂 and tech guy
adorkable
@@thePontus911 i was thinking Scandinavians as a brave Vikings that could talk on a dragon language
I love your Marble machine,It is my favorite Song,Keep up the good work!
I'm glad to hear the old machine will go to a museum.
So excited! I can't wait to see the finished product!
Oh man, now you have a German on the team your new marble machine is never going to break down!
Daniel Wilson hahaha rigth ? 😄
Daniel Wilson at least, no ducktape or WD-40 for a troubleshoot 😂😂
Yay Wintergatan Wednesdays!
Just wanted to express how wonderful this is!!..Not often do you get the chance to see such a great event of creativity in actual execution of practical fun!
everything is coming together and we are witnessing, i can't wait!
i got one question
Weren't you tired after 3 minutes of spinning?
ProGamerx333 he stopped at some part.
ProGamerx333 playing music doesn't make musicians tired.
FrostedJr - You've never played an instrument, have you? The trick, though, is to build up endurance, and push through the fatigue.
7:00
They saw through his clever disguise:
Martin is really 4 pugs in a long jacket.
I still occasionally listen to the machine do its song on repeat for a few hours when I'm concentrating on something at work. It's really quite amazing what you've done, and what you're going to be doing in the future.
I absolutely love this fusion of engineering and music that you are pursuing; truly a good demonstration of how these two fields interact and engage with each other quite often.
i fucking love this guy. world needs these people.
Oh, how far we have come.
so excited! what a wonderful undertaking
I'm sooooooooo excited for the new machine and all the great music you will make with it. Thanks!
Who disliked the video?? :( SHAME ON THIS PERSON xD
makes me smile
I love this music :)
SnowMythos the old Marble Machine was jealous that it was getting replaced with a better version so it grew hands and disliked the video
SnowMythos A cork coaster enthusiast did
SnowMythos The 134 people that disliked the video's monitors were upside down so they thought the dislike button was the like one
Omg the marble machine!
So glad a new one is being made, the first one is so awesome and I love watching/listening to it. Can't wait!!
Wow! Really looking forward to the new machine. The original is stunning for me
WHICH DUTCH MUSEUM?!?! (i live in the Netherlands and i am a big fan)
Speelklok Museum, probably.
Maybe the music box museum in Utrecht (Museum Speelklok)
wizentrop that seems logical...
thats the one!!
Spielklook!
Marble machine : music machine in past
Marble machine X: music machine in the Future
I wish that the collective drive that build the machines NEVER settle, you machine may be the best example of one world coming together.
I am super excited to see the next one can't wait.
To which Dutch museum is the marble machine going? I would really like to visit it!!
jozina1 spielklook he said in one of the comments
Mert Akalın Thank you!
Speelklok in Utrecht.
@@m.a7105 speelklok*
Will you tell us in what museum it will be?
I would love to see this machine irl one day! :D
I think it's gonna be in Museum Speelklok
Mohammed Fakeih Spellyoucock* jk xd
Good luck to you guys! I am excited just watching this!
God, that bass line is amazing. I loved the first marble machine and i'm sure i'll love the new one.
Shout out to those going through and watching in 2019
nice video!
Thanks! Glad you liked it even though its on the long side!
Bart M not all that long... I liked it
Swivel Z well anything under a half hour like this is nice
Even my whole family cousins aunts uncles nieces nephews and every kind of family member ever from mexico and louisiana we all think u are the definition of an artist and you are amaizing
What you do is truly amazing and this is proof that by working together we can develop great ideas!
A "german" engineer, nothing can go wrong :)
So it's gonna stay in holland now?
I've got to go and see it then!
I freaking love this machine. Couldn't stop playing Marble Machine cannot wait to see version 2.
i loved the raw home made feel of the first one, but im also super excited to see a polished version
awesome video. looking forward to see how it will go on further...
but 4 thumbsdown? the inet and YT is a weird place sometimes....
I want to visit the machine too ..
I'm so hyped ! I'm really excited and I impatient to see the next version of the marble machine!!!
I'm so excited for the idea of a new version of the video. A beautiful video to begin with, and now it'll be even better. It's going to be amazing.
Swedes must really love wearing scarves.
That looks like any Swedish man can make furniture and work in Ikea)
Good luck with the project! Can't wait to see the final product
Good to hear the first Marble Machine is going to a museum.
the marvle machine is my phone ringtone
its been 7 months?! damn...
It is a pure pleasure for me to follow this project. Love the music, too. Keep going!
With all that people involved i think it's going to be a huge project.
