well what if that guy was the artist of a band from Sweden called "wintergatan" and that was part of the music video of the song "marble machine".
Between December 2014 and March 2016, the band uploaded several Youtube videos featuring Martin Molin or "the guy in the video", documenting the construction of a music box which used marbles to play instruments. The machine is powered by hand, and works by raising steel marbles through the machine into multiple feeder tubes, where they are then released from height via programmable release gates, falling and striking an instrument below. All the instruments are played by striking them, and include a vibraphone, bass guiter, cymbal, and emulated kick drum, high hat and snare drum sounds using contact mircophone. The music score is stored on two programmable wheels which utilise Lego Techonic beams and stud connectors to trigger armatures to release the marbles. A final music video showing the machine in use was released in 2016. The video counts more than 29 million views on YouTube as of 23rd November 2016.
