about

"[Peter J.] Woods, Scrawlʼs Christopher Burns, and David Collins unite as Bridges of Königsberg, which feeds a variety of strained samples through the experimental music equivalent of shuffling several decks of cards – playing, Tarot, Uno, maybe Oblique Strategies, too – at blinding speeds. Their Fortifications are destined to melt faces, positing dins of alien guitar squeal, ribbed echoes, swollen delay, stretched effects, and a tinny, pressurized tinny-ness that at time that reminded me somewhat of Autechreʼs classic, Confield. Sometimes there is the sense that lye is being mashed into the irregular grooves of these improvisations — or are they improvisations? — or that the grooves are self-cannibalizing, or that a robot from the future is intruding. Remember old movies, shown on actual film, and how when before the movies actually started, there would be black screens full of white dashes, scratches, jots, and marks? Fortifications put me in mind of that, in the best possible way." - Raymond Cummings, The Village Voice, July 2014.
