So many people helped make the bubble wrap music box happen! Here’s a list of build doulas who helped bring it to life:

Stu McConnel did a lot of the engineering and has a helluva brain. Please don’t try to hire him because he now works full-time (!) with me.
AJ Lodge helped film the music video and wrote the song for its debut! https://www.instagram.com/aj.lodge/
Amanda Lodge did the story boarding and assisted on the shoot! She does character design and murals and you should hire her: https://www.instagram.com/amandajanelodge/
Sami Go is a machinist who helped install the rotary kit! And she’s also taught me pretty much everything I know about CNCelia. You can follow her here: https://www.instagram.com/gosamilee/
Victor Broadley lended me his fancy tapping arm and saved me ~so much time~. He makes a bunch of movie props and has a cute dog: https://www.instagram.com/veektohr/
Jorvon Moss lended me his 3D printer when I was in a pinch! He also makes hella cool robotics projects if you need inspo: https://www.instagram.com/odd_jayy/

This is legit awesome. Completely useless and impractical, yet mesmerizing and just plain fun.

The comments section is rife with suggestions to make it play Popcorn by Hot Butter... and I fully support that idea.

I only watched the first 2 min or so, but the idea is that the bubble pops and the noise or air from the pop interacts with a pan flute. Would that make the closest instrument analog a mini organ?

It's funny to think of the same idea at the scale of a church organ, where you have to load it with air fuel in a giant bubble wrap bandolier.
