Default Amazing musical device

It took a team of students from the University of Iowa 13,000 odd hours to set this up using John Deere tractor parts. It's on display at the Uni and is slated for the Smithsonian Institute.

Edit: Sorry it didn't upload. It's a video attachment that came to me via e-mail. I moved the attachment to My Documents and tried to upload it to my thread as I would a picture but it didn't work.
Perhaps someone can tell me how it's done or I can forward the e-mail to someone and they can post it.
Cheers
Pedro.

Before you even post the picture I'm going to burst your bubble (I got the same Email)
Actually its 100% CGI. It was made by ATI as software attached to the new generation of video cards that came out around the time of the 9800pro. I actually have the software here. As a machine it doesn’t exist in real life.

Thanks Casper. It certainly is amazing but I was suspicious that it wasn't real as there are no dropped balls on the floor.

Its one of the ATI Animusic movies. There were a number of them. With the actual software you can even change your perspective as you look around with the mouse.
