Closed Circuit

(Feedback Loop)

A guitar does not create sound alone.

It enters a system.

String to pickup.
Pickup to amp.
Amp to speaker.
Speaker to air.
Air back to pickup.

A loop.

When the loop aligns, something changes.
The sound no longer fades.
It sustains itself.

This piece captures that moment.

The hand is not striking wildly.
It is completing a circuit.

The white body becomes a grounding plate.
The surrounding dark is not emptiness.
It is resistance — the unseen field waiting for connection.

When contact is made, energy becomes visible.

The streaks are not decoration.
They are feedback locking in.

There is a thin line between control and chaos.
Too little gain and the signal dies.
Too much and it collapses into noise.

But when the loop stabilizes,
the instrument begins to sing on its own.

Not because it was forced.
Because it was aligned.

The musician does not manufacture the fire.
He stands in the loop.

Guitar → amplifier → air → return.

Closed circuit.

Sustain is not volume.
It is relationship.
