equalizer

Description

An equalizer is a device that innocently boosts or cuts the elements called frequencies, concocting the performer’s individuality and ambiance like a reagent in a human experiment. Emphasize the bass and the drum’s vibration hits your gut; lift the mids and highs and bird song swims through your ears. Yet in the end it dissolves everything into a uniform sea of sound, asking where the soul once belonged. Setting aside the joy of tweaking, the moment you finish, you somehow can’t resist tweaking again—it holds an abyssal allure.
