I'm kind of surprised he didn't start with a knob with a tiny accelerometer, mcu and battery in it to produce some sort of output signal into a stock plug depending on how the knob is oriented with respect to gravity.

Putting electronics inside the plug is nearly a mitxela trademark. https://mitxela.com/projects/flash_synth
