Daniel Lanois is a Canadian producer, engineer, and solo artist. He was born on September 19, 1951 in Hull, Québec, Canada. Alongside his brother Bob Lanois and sister Jocelyne Lanois, he co-founded MSR Productions and Grant Avenue Studio.

With a career spanning decades, Daniel Lanois has established himself as an influential figure in the music industry. His work as a producer and engineer has earned him critical acclaim and numerous accolades. Known for his innovative production techniques and distinctive soundscapes, he has collaborated with renowned artists such as *Robbie Robertson*, *Bruce Cockburn*, *Ry Cooder*, and many others.

His unique blend of rock, folk, ambient sounds, and experimental elements have captivated audiences worldwide. Drawing inspiration from various genres and incorporating diverse instrumentation into his compositions, he continues to push boundaries and create captivating music.

Press play on Lanois’ captivating new instrumental collection, Player, Piano, and you’ll be transported, too. Each song here is a portal, an invitation to lose yourself in the moment and disappear into a world of imagination and memory. Lanois recorded the entire collection himself, capturing a series of gentle, exotic piano performances at his studio in Toronto with the help of co-producer Dangerous Wayne Lorenz, and the results are both intimate and expansive all at once. Melodies unfold slowly with patience and grace; ethereal arrangements drift around them like fog rolling through the mountains. More than just an album, Player, Piano is a gateway into a cinematic sonic universe full of mystery and wonder, a place where the lines between reality and fantasy blur and deep truths and desires reveal themselves in profound and unexpected ways. “Making this record transported me,” says Daniel Lanois. “I got to travel to Cuba and Mexico and Jamaica. I got to visit with the ghosts of Erik Satie and Oscar Peterson and Harold Budd. I got to go back in time to my work with Brian Eno and Kate Bush and Emmylou Harris. And I did it all without ever leaving my studio.”
