Daniel Lanois

Daniel Lanois (born September 19, 1951 in Hull , Québec , Canada ) is a Canadian musician and record producer .

He is best known for the production of successful albums by z. B. U2 , Bob Dylan or Peter Gabriel . Lanois also works closely with Brian Eno and Wim Wenders .

Career

He began his production career in his own recording studio ( Grant Avenue Studios ) in Hamilton (Ontario) . After working with Brian Eno and working on his music projects, he was finally invited to co-produce the album The Unforgettable Fire by the rock band U2 . This was the first job that eventually earned him considerable success. With Brian Eno he sat behind the production of the U2 album The Joshua Tree , which received the 1987 Grammy Award for Album of the Year . In 1988, Bono, the lead singer of the U2 group, recommended Lanois to Bob Dylan as a producer. With the latter, Lanois worked on Oh Mercy , one of Dylan's most famous late works. Eight years later, Lanois and Dylan worked on Time Out of Mind , which won a Grammy and was Best Album of the Year in 1997 .

In addition to music production, Lanois himself works as a singer and songwriter; he plays guitar, drums and pedal steel guitar . The number of his solo albums is comparatively small. Musically, his albums offer calm and atmospheric rock music with a country and blues touch. The album Belladonna (2005), on which no vocals are used, is like a compilation of film music, bluestyle and desert western-like sound compositions. The English and French-language title Jolie Louise from the Acadie album was often played on the radio in Germany in 1989. His last well-known works can be found on the film soundtrack of Wim Wenders ' The Million Dollar Hotel as well as the U2 albums All That You Can't Leave Behind and No Line on the Horizon (together with Brian Eno).

Lanois was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame in 2002 and honored with a star on Canada's Walk of Fame in Toronto in 2005 .

On his 2007 album Here is what is , Lanois realized a mix concept of instrumental pieces, sung and spoken, autobiographical passages. In Sacred and Secular he confesses, not without irony, an unsentimental person, to be an "anti-romantic". That is part of being atheist . In Chest of Drawers he describes a discovery experience in India.

The musician had a motorcycle accident in June 2010 and was in an intensive care unit in Los Angeles. This led to the cancellation of a tour with his recently founded band Black Dub . In the same year his autobiography Soul Mining was published. A musical life.

With his voice on That's The Way It Is , Lanois contributed a soundtrack to the video game Red Dead Redemption 2 .
