Do It Yourself – Website Tutorials
In this video i show you how to punch holes and program music for the 20-note music box set and the 30-note music box set.
It is sometime a daunting process and it can drive you crazy in no time. I have been programming these music boxes for a long time now and wanted to share the methods i have developed to make the process less daunting and drive you less crazy. These music boxes are available everywhere and if you want to try them out and make your own songs this tutorial might help along the way!
It took a full day to cut these holes, longer time because i filmed it but without filming it would still take about 4-8 hours.
If you have advice or ideas on my two questions that i am asking in the video (laser cutting software & 20-note music box continuous paper roll) the best place to send me ideas is actually by posting a picture on the Marble Machine Development photo sharing page:

The fun thing with the photo sharing page is that everyone can see any conversations on these topics.
We will redesign our website in the upcoming months and I would like to start a forum on the new website to discuss things like this publicly, until then the photo sharing page is the closest thing to a forum we have right now.
I am not sure which Wintergatan Wednesday the final version of the Music Box song will be played, i said “in the next video” but that will probably not happen as we are working with MMX now.
Good luck with the Music Boxes! Martin

If you want to support what we do:
The fact that you are watching the videos and care about the music and future of Wintergatan is the best support anyone can have, I want to thank everyone who is here for that kind of support, it is really the fuel for the Wintergatan Engine.
If you apart from that further want to support the projects, we have these different options set up:
YOUTUBE SPONSOR
►Sponsor the Wintergatan Youtube Channel by clicking the blue sponsor button next to subscribe
PATREON
►www.patreon.com/wintergatan
PAYPAL ME
►www.paypal.me/wintergatan
Why do we accept support in this way?
I, Martin, can already sustain myself 100% doing what I love to do. If you want to support artists/organisations who have not yet reached that privileged position, please consider supporting other artists/organisations who need the support more. With that said, I have too many ideas and too little time and with your support I can get more help from people around me to execute the ideas better and bring them out in the world faster.
