Apparently, no effects or sampling were used. What you see is what you hear.
The scanner noise as a soloing instrument is brilliant.

Instrumentation:

Atari 800xl and Floppy Drive
3.5 Inch Hard Drive
Adaptec 2940UW SCSI Card
TI-99/4A and Tape Drive
8 Inch Floppy Drive
HP ScanJet 3C
Eico Oscilloscope

Also: No Less Moving, Nor Profound

music, the best thing in the world right now

The sounds you hear are the three axes of the machine being run at different rates.

hey! I have that same oscilliscope!

though if you want to be picky, the oscilliscope wasn't any more involved with making the music than the camera that filmed it was. They don't generate waves, they just display them!
