Many people are thinking out of the very literal music box.<br \/>\nAlong these lines is the wonderful car driving video from OK Go, exponents of the unusual video.<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MejbOFk7H6c\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><br \/>\nNotice this even starts as a music box principle on the front of the car before becoming stunningly huge in its layout and concept.<br \/>\nMany of the games that have any sort of sound capability and user created content or modding often end up with layout builds of music machines too, as we see in Minecraft<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VK7VyArgvvo\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><br \/>\nThis gets taken to an even further extreme with games like FRACT osc which is shaping up to be a stunning game set in a musical synthesiser world.<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vySfT1zVseg\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><br \/>\nThis is looking really interesting.
