An appetite for the unknown" - DANIEL LANOIS. No collaboration is unlikely when the end goals are the same. A meeting of two artists who illustrate different corners of the musical landscape, come together to create a new statement that takes their collective strengths to higher elevations and encompasses new terrains. So it is on the first collaborative journey of Canadian musicians VENETIAN SNARES and DANIEL LANOIS. What started as mutual respect for one another's work, led to several years of a creative germination resulting in an eight-track full-length exploration. Recorded live in a former Buddhist temple-turned-studio in Toronto, 'VENETIAN SNARES x DANIEL LANOIS' travels to new zones in what LANOIS describes as "a body of work driven by exploration". Like all the best collaborations, it's brought something new out of both musicians. Â Equipped with their production acuity, they let their natural workflow guide them through uncharted waters. Funk laid the groundwork with drums while LANOIS rode the pedal steel, weaving their sounds together in a new sonic tapestry. The two ultimately landed at their destination, their work ready to be shared with those willing to explore.
