Seeing this is really humbling in a lot of ways. It really puts in perspective how we stand on the shoulders of all these people and their experiments. Thanks guys.

Oh now I see the point of your comment. I made a typo in the original post. It was supposed to say no VCF.

Still hella swell. When I first saw the thread, I almost posted "sold! How much" without even reading it. tongue

And yes, it sounds indeed like chiptunes!

Awesome thing, though. Really interested in how does it work.

They're abusing the optical audio track of the film. (Seen sideways in that video.) The track would normally look like in this image, and you woul have a slit that you shine light through and measure the light intensity continuously and convert that into a voltage to drive a speaker. But since all that matters is the TOTAL light intensity, you can get away with drawing multiple tracks like that. Taller square means a higher amplitude in the on periods of the square.

manually altering the height by drawing bigger squares isn't really the same as having a VCA, though

This piece, imo, has a lot of chiptune aesthetic in it. Not just by accident since the waveforms are hand drawn or hand cut, and there's no VCA like in a typical electronic synthesizer.
