Here Is What Is is a sonic journey that captures the art of making a record by one of the most distinctive and celebrated producers of our time. Directed by Adam Vollick, Adam Samuels and Lanois, the film debuted at the 2007 Toronto Film Festival and offers viewers a rare chance to see Lanois at work behind a soundboard.
The film opens up with a timeless piano performance by Garth Hudson, one of Canada's finest pianists. Lanois then journeys from Toronto to Los Angeles to Shreveport, LA where he joins Brian Blade's father at the Zion Baptist Church for a roaring rendition of "This May Be The Last Time." The film also journeys with Lanois to Morocco where he and mentor Brian Eno reminisce and record U2 in a stunning courtyard.
From the inquisitive "Where Will I Be" to the emotive sounds of "Lovechild," Here Is What Is features a collection of viscerally powerful and beautiful tracks that capture Lanois' signature musical sensibilities and virtuosity. The album also includes philosophical interludes and inspiring conversations with Brian Eno taken from the film.
