This is my new favourite thing. These guys make music primarily using machines and their work is astonishingly good, the engineering that's gone in to their marble machine is second to none, and these guys don't even know what a spirit level is, they're learning it all as they go. Anyway, enough fanboyism, see for yourself if you haven't already:


How it works part 1, part 2.




They're now starting to make their next marble machine which they hope to take on tour, as explained in this video:



And they've now done their first video on the new project, in which they build their own CNC router with zero prior experience(!) inside a shipping container, and make the first part of the new marble machine:



These guys really do have a certain charm to them, detailing all their mistakes and errors on their musical journey as well as the successes. I certainly hope they come to London when they eventually go on tour, because when it comes to machines like this, I'm like a kid on Christmas morning :)
 
If you haven't seen it, I can highly recommend watching this live show:


They really are incredibly versatile multi-instrumentalists. The bass work on the live performance of Marble Machine particularly stands out.
