Can't get enough of these, and I love the song, too.

They're cool, but there's an awful lot of "faking" involved. The oscilloscopes aren't producing any sound, just displaying the wave. The printer/plotter thing is definitely not make all those notes without some clever frequency editing. The drive heads are probably the most real sound in the clip. But I still think it's cool.

 The osci is connected to the TI you can see in the video. He doesn't say it can sing :D As for the rest:

For this video i recorded each instrument separately with a decent stereo mic and i also used a mixer to adjust the audio levels. i would like to point out that absolutely no sampling or audio effects were used.

instruments

a. HP Scanjet 3P, Adaptec SCSI card and a computer powered by Ubuntu v9.10 OS as the Vocals. (hey, the scanner is old)
b. Atari 800XL with an EiCO Oscilloscope as the Organ
c. Texas instrument Ti-99/4A with a Tektronix Oscilloscope as the Guitar
d. Hard-drive powered by a PiC16F84A microcontroller as the bass drum and cymbal

i was very pleased how the hard-drive drums turned out and they sound great. i will definitely use them in my next video.

Ok, I'll give him some more credit, but "as the organ" and "as the Guitar" is rather misleading.
