here you can see interesting videos with lego. The best is Factory http://lego2.ru/legomania/you-have-to-see-these-lego.html

If you enlarge the image at the top of this you an actually see the resistor inside the block

@mattbed is correct as far as I can see. Metal pins can be seen here:

I think you could take a few samples from it and modulate them further to sound different but for the most part the video isn’t to musical. Maybe the previously featured Evolution Control Committee could use this as a base modulation for some of his mashups?

I agree with @mattbed, it looks like it’s using components in the legos rather than some sort of light detection. I think the blinking led is just a user indication mechanism.

The 2*4 blocks appear to have a resistor going between the centre pins of the two 2*2 that make up the block. There also looks to be 2 metal pins boing up through the blocks. I think the tone is most likely to be modulated by the resistors that are stacked up in parralel when the blocks are stacked.

the sounds are absolutely horrible! i could not hear the full length of the movie, skipping though it was ok.
the idea is nice, i think is was more fun to do i project like this than listen to the result.
