The band uses a variety of unconventional instruments including the Modulin, a ribbon controlled synthesizer built from Doepfer eurorack modules in the likeness of a violin,[7] the Moog Theremini digital theremin, an electric autoharp, a hammered dulcimer,a self-built punch-card music box, a slide projector, a musical saw, and a typewriter for use as percussion.

Between December 2014 and March 2016, the band uploaded several YouTube videos featuring Martin Molin documenting the construction of a music box that uses marbles to play instruments. The machine is powered by a hand-crank, and works by raising steel marbles through the machine into multiple feeder tubes, where they are then released from height via programmable release gates, each marble falling and striking a musical instrument below. Instruments played by marbles striking them include a vibraphone, bass guitar, cymbal, and emulated kick drum, high hat and snare drum sounds using contact microphones. The music score is stored on two programmable wheels that utilize Lego Technic beams and stud connectors to trigger armatures to release the marbles. A final music video showing the machine in use was released in 2016, and has been viewed over 230 million times.[8][9][10][11]

Ten months after the debut of the original Marble Machine, the band announced their plans to make a new marble machine for the purpose of touring. The new machine, to be called "Marble Machine X", would solve a multitude of mechanical functionality problems with the original Marble Machine. Martin Molin, the builder of the original Marble Machine, collaborated with a team of engineers and designers as well as fans for the design and build of the Marble Machine X. The original Marble Machine came back in his possession after being exhibited in Museum Speelklok in Utrecht, the Netherlands.[12][13][14][15][16] Martin Molin stopped building the MMX at the end of 2021 after realizing the design would not be robust or reliable enough to go on tour with. The first two machines have been donated to a museum for mechanical music machines in Germany called "Siegfried's Mechanical Music Cabinet" and in March 2022 he started to design a third version, with the series name being called Martin vs the Machine.[17]

After watching and seeing how impossible it is to hear the actual music while using the machine my bet is that the headphones are so he can listen to all his mics. Otherwise he'd have no clue if things were working.

I created the sound by sampling a music box using an acoustic guitar as resonance box. I chose the best samples and it was instant magic. The Music Box went on to become the sonic signature for my two bands, Detektivbyrn and Wintergatan, both recognised for their unique sound. The Speldosa has been the secret sauce in my music career and i hope other musicians finds it as useful as i have.

Martin Molin (band member) is seen in several YouTube videos documenting the build of what is basically a large handmade music box employing the very clever movement of marbles in order to produce a beautiful sound. It is cranked by hand which forces over two thousand marbles upwards suspended into various channels. The marbles are then released by carefully constructed gates designed to release marbles in keeping with musical timing. As they fall downwards the marbles land on various instruments below.

The marbles land on instruments such as a kick drum, bass guitar, a cymbal, high hats, snare drum, and vibraphone (a musical instrument in the struck idiophone subfamily of the percussion family). As they hit these instruments they produce sounds that are picked up by cleverly positions microphones. After the stunning success of the first marble machine, Martin is now making a more complex metal version of the instrument. The video below shows the proof of concept for the second marble machine (mark 2)!

Swedish musician Martin Molin has long had experience with esoteric instruments like the glockenspiel, traktofon, or Theremin, but he may have topped his musical prowess with the invention of his own new instrument: the Wintergatan Marble Machine, a hand-cranked music box loaded with instruments including a circuit of 2,000 cascading steel marbles. As the devices cycles it activates a vibraphone, bass, kick drum, cymbal and other instruments that play a score programmed into a 32 bar loop comprised of LEGO technic parts. The marbles are moved internally through the machine using funnels, pulleys, and tubes.

A timelapse video shows the machine being taken apart piece-by-piece in the studio of designer, Swedish musician Martin Molin. In a YouTube video, Molin explains that the Marble Machine took 16 months to build and just two hours to take apart.

Next month, Molin will re-assemble the machine at the museum in one its exhibition halls meaning anyone visiting the region will be able to see the musical marvel in action. In particular, the museum wants to demonstrate the Marble Machine on guided tours, which will include demonstrations of the marble lifting system.

The Marble Machine is a handmade music box that powers a kick drum, bass, vibraphone and other instruments using a hand crank and 2,000 marbles. With dozens of beautifully carved wooden parts, tracks, pulleys and funnels for collecting and rerouting spent marbles, it's a true work of art and though marble machines as an art form of their own have a long and complex history, Molin's is one of the best.

Multiple instruments are interlaced within this 3,000 part, hand-crafted invention by Swedish musician Martin Molin. With continuous cranking, lever flips, and other machine tweaks, his original composition comes to life via 2,000 steel marbles racing, bouncing, and riding through its sound-producing pathways. This is the Wintergatan Marble Machine. Via Colossal:

In terms of hardware, the music box is a straightforward instrument that automatically plays back songs. But with a very enchanting bell-like sound that immediately makes you dream. This experience is now available as a plugin/iOS app.

Marble Machine is written in the key of E Minor. According to the Theorytab database, it is the 2nd most popular key among Minor keys and the 8th most popular among all keys. Minor keys, along with major keys, are a common choice for popular music. The three most important chords, built off the 1st, 4th and 5th scale degrees are all minor chords (E minor, A minor, and B minor).See the E Minor Cheat Sheet for popular chords, chord progressions, downloadable midi files and more!

According to GuitarJunky, the marbles are funneled, dropped, scratched, and put in rhythm to the song. The movement creates a creepy, shifting, and fluid sound that takes a subtle backseat to the bass and vibraphone. Molin takes it into a C major, walking away to let the marbles slow down and the music dies out.

So, when I received an email from Martin a few months ago talking about a new project he was starting up with a few fellow musicians, alternative instrument devotees and electronic instrument geeks, I could hardly contain my excitement. Actually, to be honest, I did not contain my excitement at all. Not even a little. I just danced it out for a while and then played back through my entire Detektivbyrn collection to prepare myself.

His new project is called Wintergatan and they have just released their first full-length album, full of accordion, scissor snaps, dreamy waltzes, magical synth melodies, and a lot of new sounds as well. Four space-suited musicians choreograph pieces with more instruments than you can imagine, creating both an aural masterpiece and a visually fascinating performance.

The Wintergatan Community Meetup is a 3-day event organised by Wintergatan fans to meet up with fellow Wintergatan fans. During this event you can explore the real Marble Machines, live music, talks, making activities and games. We are hosted at Siegfrieds Mechanischem Musikkabinett in Germany, which among the Marble Machines houses many more musical instruments for you to experience.

Siegfrieds Mechanisches Musikkabinett is Germany's oldest museum of mechanical music instruments, preserving the knowledge of these since 1969.

Besides housing both Marble Machines, with more than 350 exhibits from tiny music boxes to a huge carousel organ, and many more exhibits currently in restoration, there is always something new to discover.

We are honoured to have the event at Siegfrieds Mechanischem Musikkabinett. This museum has a long history of restoring and displaying mechanical music instruments, and is currently home to both Marble Machines!

The music machine is powered by hand, and uses 2,000 marbles (and maybe a little bit of magic). It works by raising steel marbles through the machine into multiple feeder tubes. The feeder tubes are then released from height by programmable release gates, falling and striking a musical instrument below. Music and imagination is truly a beautiful combination. 2351a5e196
