Biography

One half of the duo Dead Can Dance, Lisa Gerrard began her solo career with the 1995 release The Mirror Pool. Recorded and produced largely at her home in rural Australia, it extends the world music inclinations of Dead Can Dance albums by featuring bouzouki, tablas, and camel drums; though the somber, orchestrated pomp of Dead Can Dance is also present in her operatic, often wordless vocals and string/woodwind passages. Gerrard released her second album, Duality, written and performed with Pieter Bourke, in the spring of 1998. She scored director Niki Caro's Whale Rider in 2003, and followed with series of collaborative albums. ~ Richie Unterberger
