@ericchristian DOES #INSPIREDBYSOUND TAKEOVER, October 9, 2015

Whenever we can, we have photographers takeover our Instagram page for a weekend to talk music and show how their photography is #InspiredBySound. This past weekend we had Eric von Fricken takeover. See either our feed or below on how music inspires his photography.

Hello! Eric (@ericchristian) taking over this weekend to share some photos for Grado’s #InspiredBySound takeover. Before I begin, here’s a few things about myself: 1. Originally from New York, currently living in Boston. 2. I grew up a classical pianist and now write music for movies, television and advertising. 3. This photo was taken on the MIT campus by @miklasmanneke 4. My playlist for that day was the soundtrack to The Social Network by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross.

As a writer, inspiration can hit at any moment. A catchy melody, an interesting rhythm, maybe a random combination of words you’d like to turn into a song. I’d be terrified if someone ever got into the voice memos on my phone. @ericchristian x #InspiredBySound

I usually assign different genres of music to different parts of the day. In the mornings I like listening to film scores. My most recent favorite would be Harry Gregson-Williams score to The Martian. Also a fantastic movie if you haven’t seen it. @ericchristian x #InspiredBySound

I’ve been listening to Noah Gunderson non-stop as I commute around the city these last few weeks. There’s something about seeing an artist live that always gives me an entirely new appreciation for their music. @ericchristian x #InspiredBySound

Signing off this Sunday evening listening to Chopin’s nocturnes as performed by Vladimir Horowitz. I’d like to say thank you to @jongrado for inviting me, and to everyone that followed along. Cheers! ✌️ @ericchristian x #InspiredBySound
