Four minutes of sound that took 14 months to make. 

This incredible hand-made machine is a real life “animusic:” a video animation portraying a computer-animated symphony made up entirely of marbles hitting various objects. Animusic is an impressive display of music, physics, and computer animated steam punk (see video below), but one could hardly dream of making it a physical reality ... until now.

All its sounds are produced by 2,000 marbles.
