Quebec-born artist/singer-songwriter/record producer/filmmaker Daniel Lanois explores the true nature of creativity by inviting the viewer into the very studio where he has recorded some of the best work of his illustrious career. To Lanois, improvisation is an essential part of creativity, and it is this aspect of the creative process on which he and co-directors Adam Vollick and Adam Samuels focus most of their attentions. In the comfort of his self-described "sonic temple," Lanois and such famed musicians as Garth Hudson, Brian Blade, and longtime collaborator Brian Eno embark on a creative journey the likes of which have rarely, if ever, been captured on camera before.
