- Daniel Lanois needs no introduction.
His influential blend of atmospheric sound design and staggeringly beautiful Americana has left its mark on the countless greats he helped make greater. Peter Gabriel’s So, Bob Dylan’s Time Out Of Mind, U2’s The Joshua Tree - those are his introduction. Lanois recently invited us to his Los Angeles estate for an intimate performance before turning around and delivering a live mix for the camera. It’s an incredible thing to witness, which you can above. - Hudba
if you are wondering, don't be skeptical when he starts calling out the notes, just keep watching. this isn't a jam in the classical sense: it's his vision for what the sound is going to be, so he is acting as conductor. the way he uses the console halfway through is pretty slick.
he isn't "using" the console.. he's playing it like an instrument...
;-)
Thanks for your reply
I was skeptical and didn't really know what to expect. This guy at work hands me a disk and says "listen to this"...so I did and I got hooked pretty quickly. Love the creative artistry and both the melodic and harmonic structure of this work is amazing. It's like the "music of the spheres". I had an incredible conscious OBE soon after listening to "Goodbye to Language".
No revelation, thats kinda obvious.
The way he plays that steel guitar so beautifully and smoothly, makes it seem like the guitar is a sentient being on its own and is howling its story. 5th time I’m watching this now, stunned every time.
Wow, his use of the mixer as a dubbing tools is amazing. Channeling Lee Perry, King Tubby techniques and completely taking it to another place.
I love all the natural light. Not a screen in sight. What a lovely, warm, and inspiring space! It must be a joy to create there.
Daniel Lanois music is so interesting and I believe he has reached the highest level.. Hard for me to explain but It sounds like the Canadian forest, the steel towns, the bayous, the deserts. It’s a landscape that triggers emotions and it’s a genre per se. To make a comparison when I listen to some jazz records I see the hustle and bustle of NYC, the streets the lights of a town that never sleeps. 🙏
i kinda see what your telling.. music translates a certain place especially if it is like this. no lyrics
This is amazing audio wizardry.
Him and Eno together! A match made in heaven
Picturing Arthur Morgan sitting in front of his tent on a peaceful summer evening. Enjoying a cup of coffee with his stew by the campfire.
Wasn't that aware of this guy until I watched a few Eno things on you tube recently. I love slide and steel guitar, but also electronic "treatments" to use an Eno-ism. Steel guitar is an instrument I want to try. I used to have a big bunch of reverbs and tape echos with assorted guitar pedals, and the sounds you can get with such simple (compared with modern stuff) equipment, are remarkable. The very simple device on steel guitar that makes a big difference, is the volume pedal. Very nice stuff.
Pure magic in that studio. So inspiring to watch this video. The sounds triggered here. The movements of the musicians. The stirring emotions from the strings of that steel pedal guitar. This unfolding beauty. It's intensely inspiring. Daniel Lanois rocks! Thanks so much for this one!
Daniel's movements are very soothing, and obviously it fits his music perfectly
I’ve been devouring his ambient albums with Brian Eno. Such an interesting sensibility built on the infinite tone and harmony generator that is the pedal steel.
Put me in a such a good mood
With the amazing rocco deluca too ❤️💙💜💖💚♥️🎵🎶🎼 xxx
This is the guy who played the guitar in Deep Blue Day by Brian Eno.
This is Daniel Lanois
This is the guy along with Brian Eno who produced many albums by U2, most notably The Joshua Tree.
Awesome Musician(s).
Great director. Really nice work FACT mag.
This is just magical to watch!
Divinely gorgeous! Like a clear night in the desert...✨✨✨
lol at the guy lighting up! 4:37
That guy is the brilliant rocco deluca xxx
Awesome to watch the process and the music is hauntingly beautiful.
Very very cool. My co-worker turned me on to this disc "Goodbye to Language" and at first I was thinking "oh great..more New Age atmospherics". Then as the music progressed, I was drawn in...almost hypnotically. Does this music contain hidden binaural beats that can induce altered states of consciousness? Anyway, I love this and am listening to it over and over again. There is a lot going on here and it is very moving. The melodic structure ropes you in and transports you in to the core of the record. Amazing work! I had a conscious OBE after listening to this music for 2 hours. I'm a guitarist and amateur composer and producer.and been playing guitar and keys for 40 years...and want to jam with Lanois and Deluca!
I was just playing Goodbye To Language here at home, and earlier in the day, Apollo, too, when I found this... "Yeah Man." (7:28) Quite !! And Rocco The Rock - cool! The dudes are so chilled - nice. So glad I found them both.
Those vintage Neve consoles..... magic stuff
Only gives you what give it.
@@johnstitt2615 yep, you have to work hard for it, but there is no better results...
that sound is so beautiful omg! would never thing someone looking like that would come out with a sound like that. amaaazzzing stuff though regardless!
Look at images of him with his long hair and bandana back in the day and you'll understand... :)
Wow, that’s prejudice…
truly beautiful
golden sounds. wicked.
Very authentic setup driven by a knowledgeable man!
I miss you guys. I hope to see you again one day xxx
In his studio the mixing console is a musical instrument as much as a pedal steel guitar is.
I love Daniel
This is so great... He needs to produce one of my songs.
Check out his tiny desk concerts live performance on youtube as well or whatever it's called. That one blew me away. Calling out the notes is a little different, still classic Lanois sound though, what with the slidey steel guitar and such. Amazing producer and musician. One of my all time favorite artists. His latest lp Flesh and Machine is a solid album too imo.
+yossarian1633 actually solid is prob not an apt description, more liquid if anything lol. Iceland and Opera my 2 favorite tracks that come to mind, but it's good throughout if you enjoy his sound.
Amazing !
Oh, they can try, but they'll never replace THIS MAN with a plug-in.
Really cool video! I'm just curious what was on Dan's hat that he had to cover it up with tape
oh yeah this is the good shit
This guy's a magician...
Wonderful !
Holy sh**
lol.. Dude burns one for the mix..
stunning!
DOPE!!!
Yes 👍🙏
I wonder what that thin, little taped on stick Daniel flicks with his right thumb is? Is that a digital “clicker” that provides some sort of marker on the audio track?
It’s a freeze pedal with that stick wired to it
so good!
What is he clicking with his right thumb on the pedal steel?
an Electro-Harmonix Freeze effect
Hermosa musica. Sigan creando sonidos espaciales.
Gonna need 3 Neve consoles, boys.
Roast a hog leg when the mix starts. Ace!
Any idea what that little thumb trigger he uses is? Taped on with blue tape? I've seen him play this guitar so many times, but I've never seen him use what looks like a thumb trigger.
i love how he has to tape over his hats logo
What's the switch that he touches every now and then beside the lap steel? What is it for?
Technisubs See comments above where this is answered.
I'm wondering if it may be triggering a Freeze or shimmer or something. I do the same on and off constantly with my foot on my Infinite Sustain and HoF pedals as I play my guitar.
Genius
so fasenating
+OlufCreativity FASCINATING ;)
What’s the right thumb clickey thing on Daniels slide guitar?
Anybody know, with certainty, the exact gear used to create the sound starting @ 2:11? The exact model?
anybody noticed his cap front covered with a tape? :)
I don't get. Why always the ball cap? But I sure recognize this guy's genius throughout the soundtrack of our lives
Lanois loves some scrape guitar.
What does that little thing do that he is hitting with his right thump while playing steel guitar?
It might be to do with the sampling - like bookmarking different bars/ parts in the performance? Would like to know too ;)
What about some kind of cc thingie to trigger delays etc?
In any case this stuff is just føken insåne... Daniel is true Meister of the studio....
could also be something like an ebow?
An e-bow is an effect that is held in the palm of the hand. If Daniel had been using one it would be very evident. BTW a console slide guitar doesn't need an e-bow as it has more than ample sustainnnnnnnn and the volume envelope is done via foot pedal.
Its the EHX Freeze Pedal. He's built a small remote for the foot switch of the pedal and attached to the pedal steel. The Freeze samples small pieces of audio - kind of like a hod pedal on a piano.
When did Lanois become a biker?
This man has forgotten more about music, than what emerging artists will ever learn.
what is that thing he jeeps clicking??
look up sonho durado by him its his best peice i think...
shit just got real
WOW
What does he keep tapping with his thumb of his strumming hand?
Someone please tell me what the little stick is he keeps hitting with his right thumb, I must know!
Whats the little switch he keeps flicking ?
I got so drunk at his place one time it was embarrassing but notheless had a great time !!haha Danny boy
Le Bella Vista, yeah me too, me too. Good whiskey and people.
@@jeffw2004 i fell down the spiral stairs at his Mansion in LA !!! lol its was terrible lol
Awesome climate
Feels like I"m listening to an unreleased Red Dead 2 End Credits track.
Haven't found the answer to this below, so if you know: What's the steel pedal switch that he touches every now with his right thumb and then beside the lap steel? What is it for?
My guess is switching the pickups?
I'm thinking a Freeze or shimmer or something. I do the same with my foot on my Infinite Sustain and HoF pedals - on and off constantly as I play my guitar.
"I will do nothing with my right hand". . does something with his right hand. . .haha
The Homie with the glasses looks like Cowboy from Full Metal Jacket.
What does Daniel keep thumbing that thin piece with his right thumb?
очень круто
Who is the person in the sleeveless t-shirt seated with the mixer and recorder remote?
That grooving dude is Dan's right hand man at the board, Wayne Lorenz. I have been looking for him for a long time and there he is! Hey Wayne! Thanks FACT guys for including him!
Check out the similar work of steel pedal player Bill Stafford.
who is the other guitarist?
Rocco Deluca.
was this tune in Red Dead Redemption?
No it wasn't, but Daniel Lanois is the producer of the RDR2's soundtrack, so clearly we can hear some similarities!
Both he and the other guy (Rocco Deluca) wrote and played in the score.
Rocco has incredible diversity in his stuff. He's a very gifted writer and performer. Check him out.
Wat instrument at the biggining
+thomas williams Watch to the end.
I want what hes having.
🤍
no computer, just hardware
"not good to drink and play this instrument" ...lol
"staggeringly beautiful"? Yes. "Americana"? Not so much - he's French-Canadian.
Terrence Houlahan Americana is a genre of music that is both a fusion and umbrella term for groups that play folk, bluegrass, country, rock, gospel and other similar styles originally developed in the States. It doesn't necessarily mean the artist is Canadian.
Wonderful! (Apart from that annoying alarm sound - totally unnecessary imo)
Wow, that pedal steel is about is about as nice as it gets. Prob $25k
Nah, a Sho-Bud LDG like that can be had for around $2,000 or so. They are nice guitars. I’ve owned 4 of them.
bad rythm track. really bad. but magic steel guitar
well i guess we all have our opinions. by no means necessary is the rhythm track bad. it adds a certain vibe to the music.
A little loud in the mix sure but like the man said it gives it that skippety pulse! Top stuff!
