It converts alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC) so it could power your footpedals.

WR:

The Mariel Roberts piece puzzles me. From her introduction it seems obvious that the source material of a cassette of her father playing piano is very meaningful to her. Listening I could hear nothing that would reveal the source is a recording of piano playing. Perhaps others could tell but it escaped me.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 6:54pm

She slowed it waaaay down so it becomes kind of a wash behind her,.

Another excellent episode David W. I feel lucky that I could sit and listen during much of it. Though I couldn't restrain from various tangental internet readings that may have been a distraction equal to the usual work stuff.

Yes, David, she made the recording of piano into an abstraction, greatly diminishing his physical presence (his fingers pressing the piano keys) against which she played.

Wonderful show, David (and Ruth).
