Reality Not Fantasy - Louis Landon's piano driven singer/songwriter pop music album

Louis Landon has been playing the piano and composing music for over a half a century. Landon's 10th CD, Reality Not Fantasy, to be released on March 15th, 2011, is his tour de force demonstrating heartfelt piano playing, vocals, and songwriting.

Louis Landon's career as a pianist, particularly as a solo pianist, helped define his life's mission: to create a peaceful world through music. While writing the music for Reality Not Fantasy, Landon amended his mission statement. His current mission is to create a more loving and peaceful world by writing, recording and performing music from the heart. The eleven songs on Reality Not Fantasy reflect his heightened emotional state as well as a new state of Consciousness. Landon now lives his life moment by moment with an open heart and without fear.

Produced by Grammy award winning guitarist, Eric Tingstad, Reality Not Fantasy, is Louis Landon's most ambitious recording project to date. Rhythm tracks were recorded in May and June of 2010 using the finest studio musicians and backing vocalists in the Seattle area. (see credit list below) Additional recording continued through September until final mixes were finished at the end of September. Mastering took place at the end of October. Package design began in November and final design was approved at the end of January 2011.

Reality Not Fantasy will be available as both physical CD and download on March 15, 2011 through ITunes, Amazon, CDBaby, and Louis Landon's official website.
