Found myself thinking about this fantastic video from 9 years ago and wanted to share. The band has still been making interesting new developments in mechanical marble based music machines. This original one has been donated to a museum.

    Did he ever finish Marble Machine X? I stopped watching, it just kept going and going and going.

    Afaik X got scrapped but he's trying again "the right way". A recent quote he took to heart is "perfect is the opposite of done", and he's making good strides. Not that any learnings from MMX got lost of course, he's taking all that along, but now he has a clear goal in mind every step instead of just playing with his toys.

    I like how mechanical, complex, and just plain weird it is!

    I still listen to this rather consistently.
