English term or phrase: you get to the bridge

I have enough of an artist personality that the best I can do some days is get out of the house with my keys and my wallet. So having a camera, a video camera and a voice recorder, it's with me and it gets me to do things I wouldn't otherwise do.

I found it’s really, really great for music. I can go back and look at shows and see what I sound like and look like performing, because the experience I have when I’m doing it is so different.

Or I'll walk down the street and have an idea, and I'll just record it. Or wake up first thing with music in my head, and maybe I'm not near a piano or the studio, but I can sort of beatbox it into the recorder.

It’s also good for working on songs in progress. If you’re just figuring it out, you capture it as it’s going. Then later, when somebody can’t remember what happens when you get to the bridge, is it an A-flat chord or a D-minor seventh? You go back and it’s all there.

I'm sure a musician would prefer the anglicism to "interlude" (which has more than one meaning in music).

Example sentence(s):

...Y a déjà eu ici le bridge de la chanson de Toto, I Won't Hold You Back, où se mélangent agréablement solo (relax) de guitare électrique et orchestre ...

vous arrivez au pont

Explanation:

En musique, on parle de "pont" (OK, déjà entendu "bridge" mais c'est un anglicisme et ça fait aussi penser à d'autres domaines, dentisterie, jeu de cartes)

http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pont_(musique)

En musique, un pont est un passage, plus ou moins développé, servant de transition entre deux phrases ou deux sections d'une œuvre. C'est ainsi que le pont peut désigner la partie « B » d'un morceau de structure « AABA », par exemple, en jazz.

Un très bel exemple pour ceux qui aiment Portishead dans "The Rip" ! ;)

Reference: bridge vs interlude

Reference information:
first reflex might have been to agree with Nathalie, but I think the usage can float somewhat. there are plenty of examples which seem to demonstrate that "le bridge" is indeed considered a loanword, sometimes used in variation with "l'interlude"; and plenty which seem to show it being used in contrast to "l'interlude"

This example is from Canada: http://www.tagg.org/xpdfs/HeleneL/Lullaby Analyse.pdf
