Burn the Bridges by Kamran Rastegar is a collection of instrumental Middle Eastern disaporic compositions, comprising selections from soundtracks as well as what could be called 'imaginary soundtracks.' Some of the compositions of the album are selected from soundtracks for films: the feature films Salt of This Sea (2009) and When I Saw You (2014), directed by Annemarie Jacir, and a documentary directed by Nassim Amouache titled Quelques miettes pour les oiseaux (2005). These recordings have been remixed and remastered for this collection, and placed alongside other original recordings that work as imaginary soundtracks to films that are yet to be made.
