A mostly software hardware hack. Basically I pass current through harddrive needles causing them to oscillate letting off sound waves. I have an arduino control the current, assigning a specific note (or frequency) to each hard drive, and have it talking to a node.js app over serial through a standard firmata. I then have the node.js app listen to a guitar hero controller connected to /dev/input/js0 on debian.
Essentially you are using the guitar hero controller to "play" the hard drives.
