The latest (2020) release from Daniel Lanois. "Dear friends, I’m writing this memo from my studio in ole Toronto. All the leaves are brown and the sky is grey, and the creative arena is fabulously alive. I’ve decided to release a wave of music under the banner «The Maker Series». This is is the banner I will be operating under for the next 4 years. On studying the creative waves that have come to me before, I understand that that what I do happens in blocks of time, roughly 4 years. I like to reference the ambient music chapter with my friend Brian Eno as an example of a concentrated time of music making. It took us through roughly 4 years and we had the best time. Good work came from that devotion. Thank you, Brian. This first «Maker Series» release is titled «Under The Heavy Sun». I’m very proud to be associated with my mates on this, Johnny Shepherd, Rocco DeLuca and Jim Wilson. «Under The Heavy Sun» imagines a place where spirit rises from the ground, from hurt to glory, an open road to a joy untold, a club somewhere in outer space where you leave your ego at the door to enter a new dimension of freedom." ~Daniel Lanois

About

One man's dream to build the best music system with no holds barred. At the end I wondered, Did he ever get to all that music he collected?

Came to this artist via her playing with Hans Zimmer, the Live In Prague recording. Let the day begin sublimed by sound & vision.

Julian Lage's Gladwell

We went with the happytrails to his concert tour coming through Asheville, NC several years ago. A small music hall no longer there but the memories dance when strolling by the old venue.

A nod to the inspirational Hendrix.

"Trading big romantic gestures in the one moment with impressionist subtlety in the next, the pianist's fingers navigate across the keys with rare conviction, as if he were reading the music off a sheet. In the process, Wania demonstrates relentless precision and effortless speed that appear to be informed by his background in classical music. The conflation of the classical world of piano music and jazz amount to an abundance of nuances, textures and forms in the hands of the pianist, covering a wide range of impressions, emotions and atmospheres in a matter of under an hour." continued
