It wasn't played by him, it was played as he was using the coil. It was still cool. I liked the bolt going to ground from his feet and the flourescent light reacting in the background.

The coil was making the noise.

But not selecting the notes. Hell there were big note jumps without him even moving. Besides:
"MonkeyClown builds and tests a new Faraday suit to the tune of the imperial march."
It doesn't actually even say he's playing it. It sounds like he's contributing, but I think someone else is actually playing the tune.

Right. Someone else has to be activating the notes - probably with a keyboard set to trigger the coil at various khz. The guy in the suit has nothing to do with the tones as I understand it.

Exactly, there's some sort of infamous MIDI action going on.

Yeah. I guess he is just acting as the ground.
