A few months ago, we shared the story of Martin Molin and the Wintergatan Marble Machine — a giant, hand-cranked music box that produces a wide range of sounds with the help of 2,000 marbles.
Molin is back at it again, this time creating two new instruments: a modern music box and an alien-looking instrument he calls "The Modulin" (the name, according to the Wintergatan YouTube channel, refers to it being a "mix of a MODular synthesizer and a vioLIN").
See the Music Box and Modulin in action in the video below, with a performance of Wintergatan's All is Well:
And in this video, Molin invites us into his workshop to watch the Music Box being assembled:
