Erik Friedlander

Studio 360

For over a decade of summers in the 1960s and 70s, Erik’s dad, the photographer Lee Friedlander, took his family on long road trips across America. The photos Lee took during these trips established him one of the most celebrated photographers of modern America. Erik Friedlander grew up to be an innovative cellist, and now he’s made a whole album of music inspired by those trips, all performed on solo cello: Block Ice and Propane.
