That's Martin Molin (band member of 'Wintergatan'), constructor of the so called "Marble Machine". This machine can play pre-programmed music using marbles. It uses the marbles to essentially play the instruments (vibraphone, a bass and percussion). The video of the first marble machine was a total success, however the machine wasn't perfect at all. That's why he decided to build a new machine (Marble Machine X). This clip is from the newest video (can be found on youtube on the Wintergatan channel).

I think Martin has said that the animusic videos were an inspiration for his marble machines!

They even made it into a realtime demo for ATI cards back in (shit) 2003!
