about

Bridges is something I did mid-2015. I had been making exclusively sample-based music and felt like seeing what would happen if I tried making things from scratch, and this is what I came up with over about a week or two. The title comes from a routine I had where I would burn a CD of songs I wanted to listen to and drive from Oakland to SF and back listening to it. I'd usually go at night around 1 or so when the roads would be pretty clear and there was a calmness around that you don't usually get to see during other hours. anyways it was my meditation for about a year or two, and I would come back and make music all night afterwards. I ended up calling them bridge runs. These songs all have a bridge between them - kind of an outro or interlude beat between longer songs, and also this music served as sort of a bridge between how I was making before and after. It's been hanging around a long time now and I was anxious letting it sit, so here it is. thank you, thank you, thank you for checking it out. i'm just happy it's not rotting away in my library anymore, and hopefully it opens the gates for a bunch of other music to come out. maybe listen to it on a bridge run of your own.

all keyboard/instruments/drums played by chris keys except there's this one guitar fall/effect thingy that brad dollar played on a song, and I sampled some drums from youtube on another song. everything else is basically a nord keyboard, trilian bass module, and a gretsch catalina club drum kit ran through an sp-303.

album art done by Fresh Daily based on a photo I took on a bridge run.
