Join us for a very special night with Daniel Lanois, one of the foundational creators of ambient music. He’ll grace us with a solo ambient set developed just for Reflections, focused on electronics and dubbed-out pedal steel excursions.
We’ll pair Lanois’ gorgeous music with a transcendent light show, illuminating the walls of St. Ann’s Church with lush, projection-mapped visuals. Expect a truly magical experience from one of the defining voices of modern sound.
Daniel Lanois
DANIEL LANOIS is a producer, singer, pedal steel guitarist, and visionary sound designer, born in Quebec, Canada, now based in Los Angeles, CA.
With his production partner Brian Eno, Lanois made a series of timeless records that practically define the ambient genre. 1982’s Ambient 4: On Land. 1983’s Apollo: Atmospheres & Soundtracks. 1984’s The Pearl. Each one evokes a sense of weightlessness and gentle abstraction, bringing to the foreground a series of ethereal, yet visceral, landscapes.
Further albums with Jon Hassell, Harold Budd, U2, Bob Dylan, and Peter Gabriel further expanded the idea of studio-as-instrument, making every part of the production an integral component of the overall texture, and striking the perfect balance between avant-garde experimentation and straightforward pleasure.
His first major pop production effort was on U2's The Unforgettable Fire (1984). His work attracted the attention of Peter Gabriel, who hired Lanois to produce the album So (1986). Combined with the commercial success of So, Lanois's work on U2's The Joshua Tree (1987) and Achtung Baby (1991) made him the most sought-after producer in rock music.
Yet Lanois is a songwriter, and his solo work mines the spiritual expanse of his lived experience. With his gliding pedal steel guitar, Lanois’ albums explore grassroots music, French impressionism, electronic soundscapes, dub, Mexican ballads, gospel… in other words, a world of depth and emotion, crystallized in song and sound.
St. Ann & the Holy Trinity Church
An important example of Gothic Revival architecture in America, the richly ornamented church is notable for its elaborately vaulted roof and extensive suite of stained glass windows by William Jay Bolton. Construction of the church began in 1844 on the highest point in Brooklyn Heights. Built by Brooklyn paper manufacturer Edgar Bartow, he purchased the site’s eight lots from the nearby estate of Hezekiah B. Pierrepont. The church’s official opening was on April 25, 1847. The building is an ADA accessible space.
