At first i was thinking, laptop to pre-amp/amp then output that into a flyback then i was looking for another flyback to lower the voltage again and play it back through the speakers..... to produce the music..

As i carried on watching i noticed there are no speakers... then i noticed he said the arc is CAUSING the soundwaves to be formed... My mind melted....

This is nothing absolutely new, although the effort to create something like this is meritorious. Plasma tweeters are being researched for years, since the 80's. They have the advantage of reproducing very high frequencies ant they can reproduce lower frequencies than other types of tweeters. However, they need high voltage in order to work, and their electronics are complex.
