Wintergatan continues to work on the Marble Machine 3, and this week he visited an antique musical instrument museum to get some inspiration. Or to put it more simply, he's going to build music box tech into the part of the marble machine that reads the music.
What fascinated me was the notion that you could have the music box cylinder move slowly along the axle like a screw to make new pins available to be played.
