Oh he is STILL at it? Wow, that’s 5 years? Or more? Gotta give him this: he’s persistent! I watched him at first, even if it’s infuriating at times, but eventually even I lost interest, and I build shit like that myself. No marble machine, but giant mechanical calculators, a pneumatic organ, boats etc But I think that’s what happens when musicians fabricate stuff. I know one who builds his dream guitar for 16 years. Next year he’ll be done. So he says. But then again, so he says for 15 years.
Both machines are on display at a museum in Germany. Volunteers have iterated on MMX to the point where is can play music https://www.smmk.de/marble-machines.html

Even worse, he threw out the machine to start over.
