**Bridge #1 - Day**

When she leaves town, she comes upon two men working on a bridge.

(My art: the bridge)

Added instruments: clarinet, and the "pizzicato" setting on my keyboard.  I was inspired by the bass line and the general pizzicato from the "Les Choristes"soundtrack.  (Shoulders of giants and whatnot.)  Listen on YOUTUBE.

Side note: "Les Choristes" is a great movie.

**********************************

**Bridge #2 - Lights**

The girl, upon returning to the bridge scene, finds the workers have successfully placed the lanterns on the bridge, resulting in well-lit nighttime passage.


Added instrument: piano.

As with the following "night-return" scenes, there is a cricket sound.  This sound is actually the sound my heater in Buenos Aires made before it warmed itself up.  I eventually figured out it was probably the fan inside the heater.  I took some WD-40 to it, (along with many other parts of the house), but before I did, I recorded the sound.  Ah, memories.

**********************************

Bridge #3 - Dark

When she returns, the lanterns have not been placed, leaving her to cross in darkness.


Added instrument: keyboard on a guitar setting.

**********************************

Bridge #4 - Burnt

When she returns, she finds that the lanterns must have been improperly placed, resulting in the burning of the bridge.


I can't remember how I got the added sound on this track.  I think it was my keyboard, but I can't remember for sure.  It's not a for true instrument.
