With Building Bridges, Syrène bridges the known and the unknown, safety and risk. The art of building bridges, both physical and metaphorical, requires a delicate balance. It is a dance between curiosity and caution, between the urge to explore and the need to stay safe. Composers Jacob Ter Veldhuis (1951), Douwe Eisenga (1961) and producer Kypski (1978) have climbed into the pen, resulting in three solid works from Dutch soil. Ter Veldhuis' The Waves draws you into a stream of timelessness and eternity. In Eisenga's Block Attack, ostinato rhythms and repetitive elements form a skilful, musical edifice. Kypski's The Next Dawn is the sonification of the beginning of a new era, marked by the rising sun. The result is a journey of discovery in which Syrène expands her horizons and invites her listeners to travel with her.
