Further information from nonlinearcircuits:

The photodiodes produce current when light falls on them. This is fed to an op amp which spits out a voltage that reflects the light intensity. The design is really supposed to be an ambience and movement sensor to reflect changing light conditions (if you were playing outdoors for example) and it responds to your movements as you move around tweaking and patching.

It can be used as an optical Theremin, tho the closer your hand (or other appendage) is to the photodiode the lower the output voltage.
