Respect and greetings to all the wonderful fellow bridge sound artists:


Fabulous Amy Denio, recording bridges in Seattle since 1995! (weaving a web of music around the world)

Bill Fontana, the original bridge man, inspiring with sound bridges since the seventies and his gorgeous harmonic Millennium Bridge

Michael Rüsenberg and his wonderful Cologne Bridge Symphony

Rafael Toral also collecting recordings of bridges (see future projects: bridge music)

Tom Hall recently released an album of the Story Bridge in brisbane

Joseph Bertolozzi composing a score to play on the hudson bridge


you are all amazing
I hope we can play together soon!!

I've just had one of those extraordinary moments when finally the pattern of a constantly shifting kaleidoscope stops, and settles into a whole new vista. It's amazing. The tiniest, most infinitesimal shift in perception and the world has completely opened up. Wow. I'm stunned by how simple it is, and in a slight state of shock that it has taken me so long to realise this. To see it.

Every single thing in my life up to this point has just dovetailed to create this one moment. It's incredible when that happens.

The summit education talks in berlin a few months ago - one of them about the rejection of compulsive performativity (just say NO, I can't!) and another about the non-radical moment of change, which isn't a rejection or revolution of what exists, but in accepting it and slightly shifting your perception, although everything is the same it is completely different afterwards. The personal and emotional journy, to learn to be more receptive, to listen... the professional networks and constant joy of meeting such fabulously creative, inspirational people and learning from how they approach their work and do things...

I'm reeling. Have to log off and go play with the other humans in the real world.

...oh, you want to know what it is, this brand new shiny insight? fresh off the plane from another world? all in good time, my dears. It will be revealed when the time is right. Good night xxjr
