Take Me To The Bridge

Mid Hudson (FDR) Bridge By: Roy Samech (2003)

Composer Joseph Bertolozzi had an idea: To use New York’s Franklin Delano Roosevelt Bridge as a musical instrument — with mallets, steel pellets, and even a large log, he created music from the bridge’s guard rails, suspender cables, and girders. He’s just released a CD of his work: “Bridge Music” and beginning June 6th, visitors will be able to hear Bertolozzi's creations at the bridge itself.
