    - Małgosia Fiebig surprised me completely by playing the Marble Machine song on the Carillion of the Domtoren clock tower for the whole city of Utrecht!
    Thanks so much Małgosia for showing us and everybody else the Domtoren of Utrecht!

But even playing conservatively and just qualifying the functionally-integrated stalactites, a clock tower's got nothing on that!

    Man, I love the marble machine but that song sounds really fucking amazing on the bell tower.
    it would be really cool to have a bell tower such as this, unfortunatly the only thing we have like that is a local church, and the church just has a digital organ that sounds too digital.

      See the video Carillon, a tower with 100 tons of bells. The TH-camr who presented this got a great grounding in carillon history, then the Carillonneur played the TH-camr's song Rain which was off the charts awesome. I love carillons and think it's great when they are used to play something other than religious or patriotic music. They are for public music, and playing something fun is not too much to ask.

    It sounds so beautiful it brought tears to my eyes. I hope the tower keeps being played by people forever, it's something really special that you just can't replace with a machine. It's music that is alive 💙

    This channel is a gift to this earth like no other. I cannot even express how cool this video is, and the song sounds bloody fantastic when played on a clock tower. Who would've guessed.

      Think of it this way, you climb a high hill to get to your instrument, then you punch and kick several dozen bells into submission! Aside from being amazing musicians, I'm sure most carillonneurs are in great shape! If I arm wrestled one of them, I'd be concerned about being driven through the table!

      @@oddpotato4038 Yeah, rad and awesome-and the sound of the bells too! There are some videos of concerts from the Dom Tower. I've put the Abba and another one on my Pinterest. I think you might enjoy a vid called Carillon a tower with 100 tons of bells. This is about the Rockefeller Memorial Chapel Carillon at the University of Chicago. I have lots of comments on it. I've watched and re watched the video it's so enthralling. You can search by the title I gave, and I think the channel owner's name is Rob Scannon. He's a huge music nerd like Wintergatan, and he has lots of videos. Joey Brink the Carillonneur also played a piece by Rob called Rain. Seriously cool. Rob has lots of different versions of Rain on his channel. Great guy-I'd like to meet him!
