You're saying that wasn't real? I am pretty sure he did a light show with his computer...
If the above post is sarcasm, then please disregard the following ...
I personally feel that it was a compilation of clips taken by home video and clipped together. Reasoning: each time a certain 'shot' is shown, there is a light just to the left of the second floor of the house (probably the window of a house behind that one?). It is on every time certain particular shots are shown (for example: a certain clip where the icicle lights only are shown).
Additionally, I think creating such a show like that, even if it was a computer algorithm, would have been even more difficult than just taking shots of the lights at certain stages and editing those shots, since you'd have to hook up the light (via X10?) to the program and pray they turn on at the precise moment. It would also create a strain on the home circuitry flashing them on and off like that, and I wouldn't be surprised to see a circuit trip if a light show that complicated was done with home wiring.
I could be wrong. Actually, I'd like to be wrong, since that would be a wicked cool scene to see live.

There is also the possibility of using MIDI or SMPTE timecode to sync up the lights with the music. This is done all the time in the concert world. Just very expensive most of the time.

Damn his video is broken 
I was thinking it used probably the same basic technology as the Bellagio Fountains use.
That is sooo cool and so WT it is great! I imagine it looks like crap during the day, though.
