The animation is parameterized to the MIDI input. Attempts to build real-world working models of these machines or machines like them have been made, with varying levels of success: [VIDEO] Compressorhead: An all-robot heavy metal band. Famous for Stickboy, the band's four-armed, headbanging drummer, or at least Stickboy is what I remember most about the band. [LINK]

Reminds me of a real world Animusic video [VIDEO] Also, at first I thought was going to be the person (or persons) that have their own restored Rock-Afire-Explosion bands and then reprogram them to play contemporary songs.
Have you watched the Animusic series ( [LINK] ) ... especially Pipe Dream - [VIDEO] Be sure to watch the "Creating the Animusic DVDs" pair of videos. [LINK]
