Erik Friedlander Live In Dartmouth Music by Erik Friedlander Images by Lee Friedlander Film by Bill Morrison Footage by Michael Sacca, edited by Erik Friedlander. Vanguard 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, a 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. Eriks finger-picked pizzicato passages and droning Dobro-like effects alternate with bowed action in haunting melodies that propel a shared journey to discover whats beyond the next bend in the road.
