| Music by Erik Friedlander, Images by Lee & Maria Friedlander, films by Bill MorrisonErik Friedlander's new multi-dimensional concert performance featuring music, stories, images and films.
Cellist Erik Friedlander draws on his experiences as a child traveling across the United States with his family during the 1960's and 70's to create Taking Trips To America, an engaging solo performance that brings together Erik's rich, Americana-inspired cello music, his own stories from now-distant road trips, images taken by his father, the photographer Lee Friedlander, and haunting road movies contributed by film maker Bill Morrison (Dacasia.). This multi-dimensional performance is both a celebration of the family camping trip, an archetype of American life, and a poignant memoir of a child making sense of the hundreds of hours and the hundreds of miles traveled each year. Erik?s finger-picked pizzicato passages and droning Dobro-like effects alternate with bowed action in haunting melodies that propel a shared journey to discover what?s beyond the next bend in the road.
