“The Barbershop: A Shape Up, Fade, and Please Don’t Touch My Hairline” is an exploratory analog sound piece that takes a steady signal and creates a wavering shift with a pfft~ in Max. The hair clipper-esque sound is created using a combination of filters, delays, and trapezoidal waves. The wavering sound that occurs when triggering the pfft~ is reminiscent of the sound of a hair clipper being pressed against the skin (i.e. for fading black hair). The piece is best experienced with headphones.
