Here Is What Is

Daniel Lanois describes Here Is What Is, a documentary filmed over 2007, as "the travelogue of his life". In the film Lanois guides the listener on a search for the "source of the art, rather than everything that surrounds the art." The film and its companion album (CDDLR003) allow Lanois to delve into "his orphanage" of many previously unreleased textures, rhythms, hooks, grooves, prose, rhymes and atmospheres and bring them all to light in a one of a kind sonic journey grounded by Lanois’ stellar musicianship, imagination and relentless pursuit for that "spark of initial magic." This exclusive look at this elusive artist in the recording studio is something music fans and scholars have longed for for more than twenty years.
