Bridges from Somewhere is a set of contrasted electronic music pieces with impossible derivations from snatches of classical music and textures of real sounds. The Bridge to Somewhere Else uses multiple fragments from some of Béla Bartók’s 1936 Edison Phonograph recordings of Turkish folk music, which is a collection among Jürüks in Anatolia. In all the sections similar but wild electronic distortion techniques are used to glue them into a single work.
