This machine uses 2000 marbles to make music that will blow your mind

For a musician, nearly anything can be used as an instrument. But this “instrument” is something incredible!

The Wintergatan Marble Machine is a massive, wooden contraption created by Swedish musician Martin Molin. It uses 2000 marbles and a hand crank to “play” various instruments simultaneously.

What is inside? A series of instruments, including a kick drum and bass guitar. When the crank is, uh, cranked, the marbles are released onto a conveyor belt. This belt randomly drops them down chutes, each leading to a different instrument.

Molin spent 14 months building the complicated instrument. He and his band, Wintergatan, hope to take the marble machine on tour this summer.

The resulting sound is amazing!
