Duality

Description

Lisa Gerrard & Pieter Bourke- DualityAmazon.com Duality is at once sacred and playful. It is both dark and light, organic and refined, masculine and feminine. Dead Can Dance's Lisa Gerrard partners with Pieter Bourke, formerly of Aussie band Eden, to create this compositional dance of partnership that is classical, ancient, and thoroughly modern. Gerrard's voice is multitracked at times, conjuring a cathedral choir and the droning chants of monks. Drums and synth snake from desert to brilliant stormy sky to shaking earth and the bodies that inhabit those spaces. There are lush multiple layers of strings, bagpipe drone, and, quite literally, the laughter of children. The vocals sans "real" words and multicultural instrumentation will be familiar to Dead Can Dance listeners. Yet there is something more exclusive, more womblike about the music of Bourke and Gerrard; rather than two distinct bodies making music, like mother and in utero child sharing blood and breath, they are mutually dependent. --Paige La Grone Product description NEW Combo BLUWAVS CD and FLAC FILE Review [Lisa] Gerrard was no slouch as founding member of Dead Can Dance, but on this CD, her rich alto voice sounds more upfront and confident than ever.... [Her] voice has character to spare, and is a perfect complement to [Pieter] Bourke's instrumental work.... The predominant musical influence among the 10 pieces on the CD is probably a Middle Eastern flavor ... several tracks supply a strong liturgical, Medieval flavor. Whatever the language or musical precedents, this is worldbeat at its best. -- Option
