[magical wubs]

[ring sound drops in pitch as video slows down]

0:07:02.700,0:07:03.680
Okay...

0:07:04.180,0:07:05.260
yes...

0:07:09.260,0:07:10.280
Yes!

0:07:16.480,0:07:17.640
heh.

0:08:18.480,0:08:21.940
[sped up speech, too fast to understand]

0:08:31.080,0:08:34.800
2014 : I saw the Animusic "Pipe Dream" video

0:08:34.800,0:08:36.900
and then I saw Matthias Wandel building marble machines

0:08:37.080,0:08:40.140
and I happened to visit the Speelklok museum in Utrecht

0:08:40.280,0:08:42.280
with mechanical music instruments.

0:08:42.720,0:08:44.340
After seeing all those things,

0:08:44.380,0:08:45.980
I built the Marble Machine.

0:08:46.240,0:08:48.960
The Marble Machine became a prototype

0:08:49.000,0:08:50.960
because it didn't really function well enough

0:08:50.960,0:08:53.760
to go on live tour and play music onstage.

0:08:53.880,0:08:57.060
So now, I'm trying to build the Marble Machine X.

0:08:57.280,0:09:02.000
The Marble Machine X project has completely ballooned out of my control

0:09:02.220,0:09:04.200
and I'm trying to assemble a new part every week

0:09:04.320,0:09:08.400
so I can reach the goal, somewhere down the line, to make music.

0:09:08.400,0:09:11.040
The machine is not the goal, the music is the goal

0:09:11.200,0:09:16.120
and if I succeed with that, I want to go on a world tour and play live music for you all

0:09:16.240,0:09:20.220
with the Marble Machine X on stage; that's the vision I'm working towards.

0:09:20.640,0:09:25.400
I don't know if I've actually just lost all my marbles and will tinker around on this machine

0:09:25.400,0:09:27.540
until the sun runs out of material to burn

0:09:27.700,0:09:30.380
or if I'm making a modern masterpiece.

0:09:30.380,0:09:34.540
I will document this whole process in this video series, with a new video every Wednesday

0:09:34.540,0:09:37.960
and eventually we will have an answer to that question.

0:09:37.960,0:09:41.960
Thanks so much for watching. See you on the next Wintergatan Wednesday.
