1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,960
[off-screen thumping]

2
00:00:05,520 --> 00:00:07,500
[metallic clanks]

3
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:08,380
[musical scale]

4
00:00:08,380 --> 00:00:39,080
[upbeat, fast-paced music]

5
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:43,060
[dragging sound]

6
00:00:49,380 --> 00:00:58,000
[metallic clanks]

7
00:00:58,260 --> 00:01:01,860
[resonant, metallic ring]

8
00:01:02,980 --> 00:01:05,460
[metallic clanks]

9
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:11,020
[dragging and thumping]

10
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:27,040
[metallic clanks]

11
00:01:31,520 --> 00:03:09,760
[various workshop noises]

12
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:18,080
[mimics sound of turntable]

13
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:37,440
[various workshop noises]

14
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:55,200
[sped up workshop noise]

15
00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:29,440
[quiet workshop noise]

16
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:44,960
[sped up workshop noise]

17
00:04:46,560 --> 00:05:31,460
[various workshop noises]

18
00:05:31,620 --> 00:05:33,120
Twist. And...

19
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:37,440
[magical wubs]

20
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:38,100
*blows on wand*

21
00:05:50,620 --> 00:05:52,040
[resonant ring, like a gong]

22
00:06:01,140 --> 00:06:03,600
[high-pitched ringing, clicking screwdriver]

23
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:08,840
[ring sound drops in pitch as video slows down]

24
00:07:02,700 --> 00:07:03,680
Okay...

25
00:07:04,180 --> 00:07:05,260
yes...

26
00:07:09,260 --> 00:07:10,280
Yes!

27
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:17,640
heh.

28
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,940
[sped up speech, too fast to understand]

29
00:08:27,620 --> 00:08:30,500
[upbeat drums]

30
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:34,800
2014 : I saw the Animusic "Pipe Dream" video

31
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:36,900
and then I saw Matthias Wandel building marble machines

32
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:40,140
and I happened to visit the Speelklok museum in Utrecht

33
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:42,280
with mechanical music instruments.

34
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:44,340
After seeing all those things,

35
00:08:44,380 --> 00:08:45,980
I built the Marble Machine.

36
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,960
The Marble Machine became a prototype

37
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:50,960
because it didn't really function well enough

38
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,760
to go on live tour and play music onstage.

39
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:57,060
So now, I'm trying to build the Marble Machine X.

40
00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:02,000
The Marble Machine X project has completely ballooned out of my control

41
00:09:02,220 --> 00:09:04,200
and I'm trying to assemble a new part every week

42
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:08,400
so I can reach the goal, somewhere down the line, to make music.

43
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,040
The machine is not the goal, the music is the goal

44
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:16,120
and if I succeed with that, I want to go on a world tour and play live music for you all

45
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:20,220
with the Marble Machine X on stage; that's the vision I'm working towards.

46
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:25,400
I don't know if I've actually just lost all my marbles and will tinker around on this machine

47
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:27,540
until the sun runs out of material to burn

48
00:09:27,700 --> 00:09:30,380
or if I'm making a modern masterpiece.

49
00:09:30,380 --> 00:09:34,540
I will document this whole process in this video series, with a new video every Wednesday

50
00:09:34,540 --> 00:09:37,960
and eventually we will have an answer to that question.

51
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:41,960
Thanks so much for watching. See you on the next Wintergatan Wednesday.

52
00:09:42,120 --> 00:10:02,120
