Three Things to Enhance Your Day - Videos of the Extraordinary

Today I'm sharing movement, sound and a building - things that I thought might be of interest to all of you. I'm going to start with something relatively simple.- rhythm and tone that requires some human intervention, but that's still a lot of fun to see and experience for the inventor as well as those listening. 

Here, Pete O'Connell demonstrates his "Rhysonic Wheel" at an
intimate concert. If you follow THIS LINK, you can see the
concert on You-Tube. 

Here I'm featuring Pete O'Connell and his "Rhysonic Wheel". A New Zealand artist, he's been inventing wheels that play stringed and rhythmic instruments for years now. This latest device spins several wheels at once, impacting a drum, dhembe and other percussive and/or stringed instruments he places in the path of the spinning discs.

I've been a follower of Wintergatan on and off for years now. This group of musicians/inventors have had an ongoing Marble Machine project. Here's a video documenting the successful completion of the "Marble Conveyor Belt". It's demonstrated by Martin Molin, a member of the band and the inventor of the Marble Machine. If you enjoy rhythm and beat, you'll love this video. 

Here, Martin Molin gives a lively demonstration of the
Epic Marble Machine X. Just click THIS LINK for the
full video. It's wonderfully fun.

The third thing I have to share with all of you today is a bit different - a dragon ... a very LARGE dragon. This 17-story dragon wraps around a Buddhist temple in Thailand. The temple is called "Wat Samphran". The building is 80 meters tall to honor the number of years that Buddha lived. You can climb the building and touch the dragon's beard or talons from the rooftop. Want the full experience? I'll pin a 360 degree perspective in a video link below. 

Isn't he simply magnificent? I'll embed a LINK HERE so that you
can experience the full 360-degree experience of this amazing
dragon. If I ever get to Thailand, I'm visiting this guy, for sure!

So, there you have it - three videos to capture your imagination today. At least, they certainly captured mine. I'm off to the gym for another day on the machines. Have to lose this birthday weight (only four pounds were gained and they were well worth it, but I still have to get it back off - LOL). I hope you enjoy what I presented to you today, and have a spectacular Tuesday. I'll return tomorrow!
