Grey New York and production house 1stAveMachine teamed on this video in which New York electro/pop/rock musician and recent Lorde collaborator Son Lux performs an original piece of music (which he composed) on a keyboard linked to a piano rigged with Gillette new FlexBall razors.
The piano keys are played via a pulley system attached to FlexBall razors. The 3D pivoting head of the razors allows for a unique range of movement as the razors’ handles strike the piano keys.
At the conclusion of the performance–which took place at the Hammerstein Ballroom in NYC–a pair of supers appear which read: “Movement Like No Other”; “Shaving Rebuilt.”

This slice of office life highlights the value of key Apple Intelligence upgrades, including Writing Tools which work wonders with the quality of how one communicates and connects with others.
