"Open Secrets comprises seven realizations of works for voices and/or instruments chat require spontaneous performers' choices limited only by given materials and procedural rules, and one fully notated composition. Performers are asked always to listen attentively to other performers (live or recorded) and to ambient sounds, and to produce vocal sounds (usually linguistic elements), and/or instrumental tones, in relation with all they hear. They must often fall silent and listen. By exercising invention, sensitivity, tact, courtesy, and "virtuosity without ego-tripping," they make each detail contribute significantly to the total sonic situation. On this disc, two or more performances of most of the vocal works are superimposed." (fuente / source)
