Daniel Lanois
Los Angeles, USA / Toronto, Canada
Nathan Phillips Square is transformed into an oasis of sound and vision. Daniel Lanois prepares, produces and performs the soundtrack to a multi-channel, multi-screen media experience, nestled comfortably into the centre of the night. Working with a field of sound-projectors, original scored videowork by contributing artists including Jennifer West and Nicholas Provost, and performances by special guest artists including Trixie Whitley (Black Dub) and Carolina Cerisola (salsa dancer), the space is designed to expand collective experience, opening up multiple perceptions and realities. Introducing diverse elements in sound, music, light, film and video, the atmosphere is guided from a central studio location, a hub of creation that reflects into a sea of possibilities.
Musician, artist, innovator, and award-winning producer Daniel Lanois's eclectic artistic background includes working with some of the world's most renowned musicians, including U2, Bob Dylan, Emmylou Harris, Brian Eno, Peter Gabriel, The Killers' Brandon Flowers and Neil Young. Through his own five albums, as well as with new band Black Dub, Lanois balances technical prowess with simple beauty, technical wizardry and emotional honesty, while creating a rich experience full of personal expression.
