Stupid name (hackergotchi) aside, it is a Good Thing™ from a design

what's important (the face) will just make for so much noise and in
design noise (that isn't carefully orchestrated) is ugliness.

There's nothing remarkable about it. All one has to do is hit the 
right keys at the right time and the instrument plays itself.
