Opening Closed Loops utilizes both sound gathering and emission to produce electronic and acoustic feedback. Repeated transmissions of "silence" are generated by and fed into multiple two-way radios, whose signals may or may not be routed through analog synthesizer modules. The combination of intercepted and jammed radio transmissions gradually yield distorted sound fields that evoke sounds excluded from the narrow parameters of listenability established for voice based transceiving. The title refers to the "closed loop" that normal communications operate within; the aim of the work is to gradually build layers of feedback that push through a closed communications system to a more abstract, chaotic, and poetic acoustic space.
