[@shannongolden]

[@carlost.9233]

To everyone asking about if the sounds in the video are real, they definitely are. The higher pitched, EDM-like sounds are a result of low frequency noises being compressed into higher frequency ones due to the time-lapse. Notice that there is a thud every time the excavator's base hits the ground. In real life, the impact would be so slow that sound generated by several parts of the machine creaking, bending, and touching the floor bit-by-bit would be mostly low frequency sounds (except for some of the creaking). However, the time-lapse speeds up the noise, making them higher frequency. Due to the immense range of part sizes on this beast, there is also a broad spectrum of low frequencies being produced, and the time lapse compresses this into a broad spectrum of higher frequencies. The sound of drums is effectively a little bit of low frequency sound combined with broad spectrum high frequency pitches (see some power-spectrum graphs of drums to see for yourself). The time-lapse effectively turns the foot-falls of this beast into a base drum, which is a part of the sound here. To summarize, the sounds is definitely real. An understanding of audio power spectrum graphs, Fourier-series, and how time-lapse works explains why this is real.

[@ccllvn]

wow ok

[@TheFirstManDown]

The first watch-through I thought it was music. The sounds being sped-up makes sense. Shame though, I thought it was quite a banger.

Don’t understand utility of this curious machine ? Why it déplacer like this ?

[@goddagogeddagabbagool]

One giant tool meant to tear up the ground and harvest ore at a dig site. Can't sit in the same spot forever, needs to move. Cant support her with wheels of any viable size. Entire machine is built around enormous hydraulic feet that press down and lift it, then it moves a few feet forward and sets down safely. Repeat.
