Breakdown of system; Component 'A' is an antiquated encoding appliance which utilizes technology from the 70s to represent bits in the video medium
for the purpose of storing this information somewhere, which the 80s largely elected VHS for. My adoption of it (the PCM encryption / cassette storage thing)
is less informed by practicality as VHS is anything but commonplace in the 2020s, but more by a desire to 'own' in the physical sense sonic materials. This
wasn't a luxury two/three decades ago, and it may have actually been perceived as a burden or compromise, this tetheredness to hard media, but as a
product of the post-hardware era, I've discovered that the dimension of finite material dedication respecting many things but especially those of musical
pertinence does a lot to accessibilize the parameters of whatever the contents are; a simple digital file that may be the 220th revision/slight alteration of
another weightless spaceless file isn't the most adherent to physical world estimations. Philosophy aside, the encoder component converts audio input
into organized static recognizably PCM and, as per design intention, is routed into the video input of a Video Cassette Recorder, where the signal can be
copied and, most excitingly and usefully, decoded by the same unit back into pristine CD quality digital audio.
