Electro-sonic Chaircut at the 2010 Maker Faire in New York

Nelson's Electric Chaircut is the original amplified haircut performance! It is an interactive, electro-sonic, haircut performance. Volunteers are taped to the chair, their eyes and mouth are also taped to symbolize the fetishism of appearance. The hair is then cut by Nelson, the original master of electro-sonic hair design. The various implements are amplified, scissors and clippers wired to effects pedals, slung round his waist, and blasted through an amplifier strapped to his back. The whacking haircutting sounds reverberates in a trance like cacophony of seemingly random patterns, as the true stylistic nature of the volunteer is released.
Originally conceived in San Francisco, Nelson Loskamp has been performing Electric Chaircut, amplified haircuts, worldwide since 1989.
