Marble Machine X

This week we take a look at the amazing collection of self-playing instruments of "Siegfried's Mechanisches Music Kabinett" in Germany's town of Rüdesheim am Rhein. They even have a Self-Playing Banjo?! In three days we barely scratched the surface of the endless marvels these machines had in store for us, we need to look at these historical treasures in more detail, this calls for a new Music Machine Mondays series, coming up in the future. We can gladly recommend a visit to Rüdesheim - the museum reopens in March. Special thanks to Lucas Wendel for Making this Happen! Take care and good luck with everything you are doing / Martin

Check out the MMXS by Love Hultén here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xsLvJ... Check out Loves amazing art here: www.lovehulten.com Channel Update: The Plan for Transition to Music and Completion of the Marble Machine X The Marble Machine X Project has reached an intermediate train station where it is time for me to change trains to make sure that we will reach the correct destination in the end. With the use of one analogy and another anecdote in this video i am trying to illuminate the reasoning behind the train change. This Time usage visualisation also aided me greatly in understanding the slow progress of the MMX in particular and the overall situation in general: https://we.tl/t-uKFvYG4tUu Looking forward to bringing you all with me on this part of the Journey, thanks to everyone being involved in the project and thanks to everyone for following the project and good luck with everything you are doing! // Martin
