Home-built CNC playing "Still Alive" on its motors

Hi there.
I've been a long-time lurker on TWP and the avid Half-Lifer since the very early days...
I've registered to share a link to a video, where my friend's home-built CNC cutter plays "Still ALive" tune by varying the speed of its motors and engaging different motors at precisely programmed moments. It probably does not get closer to experience how GLaDOS would have played it...
So, without further ado:

So this is completely unrelated sort of, but can you tell me about the CNC? Me and a friend are in the early stages of building one and I'm trying to absorb as much information as I can.
