Daniel Roland Lanois (Hull, September 19, 1951) is a Canadian producer and musician. He has produced records for a large number of artists and has composed a few of his own. He has worked with Bob Dylan, U2, Peter Gabriel, Robbie Robertson, Ron Sexsmith, and Brian Eno, among others.

Trajectory

In 1981, Lanois performed and produced the album "This Is The Ice Age" by Martha And The Muffins. In 1985 he won a CASBY Award for his work on a Martha and the Muffins album.

Lanois worked in collaboration with Brian Eno on some of Eno's projects, one of which was the theme song for David Lynch's film adaptation of Frank Herbert's Dune. Eno invited him to co-produce U2's album The Unforgettable Fire. Along with Eno, he went on to produce U2's The Joshua Tree, the 1987 Grammy Award winner for Album of the Year, and some of the band's other works, including Achtung Baby and All That You Can't Leave Behind, both nominated. for the same prize, but they did not win. Lanois once again collaborated with U2 and Brian Eno on the band's 2009 album, No Line on the Horizon. He was involved in the songwriting, mixing and production process.

Lanois's early work with U2 led to his being hired to produce albums for other artists. He collaborated with Peter Gabriel on his album Birdy (1985), the soundtrack to the Alan Parker film of the same name, and subsequently spent most of 1985 co-producing Gabriel's album So, which was released in 1986 and became their best-selling release, earning multi-platinum sales and a Grammy nomination for Album of the Year. Lanois later co-produced Gabriel's follow-up album, Us, which was released in 1992 and also went platinum.

Bono recommended Lanois to Bob Dylan in the late 1980s; in 1989, Lanois produced Dylan's album Oh Mercy. Eight years later, Dylan and Lanois worked together on Time Out of Mind , which won another Grammy Award for Album of the Year in 1997. In his autobiography Chronicles, Vol. 1 , p. 1, Dylan describes in depth the contentious but rewarding working relationship he developed with Lanois.

Wrecking Ball, his 1995 collaboration with Emmylou Harris, won a 1996 Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Folk Album. In 1998, she produced and appeared on Willie Nelson's album, Theater.

Lanois was working on Neil Young's Le Noise record in June 2010 when he was hospitalized after sustaining multiple injuries in a motorcycle accident in the Silver Lake area of Los Angeles. He has since recovered. Lanois' production is recognizable and notable for its "powerful" and "live", atmospheric guitars and ambient reverb. Rolling Stone called Lanois the "most important record producer to come out of the 1980s".
