    - 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!

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

      See the video Carillon, a tower with 100 tons of bells. The CZcamsr who presented this got a great grounding in carillon history, then the Carillonneur played the CZcamsr'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.

    This machine is centuries old, and yet that clock mechanism looks FLAWLESS.
    Oh, and it's still accurate, when parts of it aren't disconnected intentionally at least.
    I want one.

      Darijus Uosis Funny joke, dude! Oh no wait, it wasn't. There are loads of stupid people here in The Netherlands complaining about where "their" tax money goes to without realizing that a lot of it comes back to them in one way or another.
      Besides that, it's an public place of discussion. Jelle is free to make his dumbass joke, just as I am free to criticize his dumbass joke.

    What a magnificent accomplishment!! You composed such a marvelous piece of music and were able to hear it played on such a revered instrument as that clock tower. You should be very proud!

      So, what's the biggest crowd you've ever played for? I bet you can't beat me. I've sold out stadiums.
