Bridge was composed upon a Burning Bridge. The nature of this music consumes temporal
illusions while enveloping the concurrence of life and death. On this Burning Bridge, the tinder of history
and culture feed flames that vibrate within the core of both instinct and
identity. The fire, often ignored,
has always existed, with bridges burning each moment of our ever-changing
lives.
