Lisa Gerrard (born 12 April 1961) is an Australian musician, singer and composer who rose to prominence as part of the music group Dead Can Dance with music partner Brendan Perry.

Since her career began in 1981, Gerrard has been involved in a wide range of projects. She received a Golden Globe Award for the music score to the film Gladiator, on which she collaborated with Hans Zimmer. In addition to singing, she is an instrumentalist for much of her work, most prolifically using the yangqin (a Chinese hammered dulcimer).

Biography

Née de parents irlandais émigrés en Australie, Lisa Gerrard a grandi à Prahran dans la banlieue de Melbourne, parmi les communautés grecques, turques, italiennes, et arabes qui influenceront sa musique.

En 1981, elle intègre le groupe Dead Can Dance avec Brendan Perry. Ce nom de groupe est inspiré de celui d'un masque rituel aborigène.

En 1995 paraît son premier album solo, The Mirror Pool. Après la séparation de Dead Can Dance en 1998, Lisa Gerrard poursuit sa carrière solo. Un Golden Globe lui a été décerné pour la musique du film Gladiator qu'elle a écrite en collaboration avec le compositeur Hans Zimmer.

2005 marque la reformation de Dead Can Dance pour une tournée européenne et nord-américaine, avec de nouvelles compositions telles que Saffron ou Hymn for the Fallen. Les albums Anastasis et Dionysus, les premiers depuis la reformation, sortent respectivement en 2012 et 2018.

Au printemps 2007, Lisa Gerrard effectue une tournée solo qui passe en Australie, en Europe puis en Amérique du Nord. À l'automne de la même année, elle se produit à nouveau en Europe et en Russie.

En juin 2008, le musicien de musique électronique allemand Klaus Schulze sort un album intitulé Farscape avec la voix de Lisa Gerrard. Cet album est le début de plusieurs collaborations entre le musicien et la chanteuse.

A centuries long war between humans and vampires has devastated the planet's surface and led to a theocracy under an organization called The Church. They constructed giant walled cities to protect mankind and developed a group of elite warriors, the Priests, to turn the tide against the vampires. The majority of the vampires were killed, while the remainder were placed in reservations. With the war over, the Clergy disbanded the Priests. Outside the walled cities, some humans seek out a living, free from the totalitarian control of the Church.

The official website describes the film, "Expanding on the themes they developed in Baraka (1992) and Chronos (1985), Samsara explores the wonders of our world from the mundane to the miraculous, looking into the unfathomable reaches of humanity's spirituality and the human experience. Neither a traditional documentary nor a travelogue, Samsara takes the form of a nonverbal, guided meditation."

Having been diagnosed as terminally ill, Henry Poole purchases a tract house in his hometown, a working class suburb of Los Angeles, and awaits the inevitable, fortified with whiskey and frozen pizza. His peaceful solitude and self-imposed exile are disrupted by his meddling neighbor Esperanza Martinez, who insists she sees the face of Christ imbedded in the stucco wall of his home and is convinced the image has miraculous powers when it begins to exude drops of blood. Before long, she is leading pilgrimages to his backyard and inviting Father Salazar from the local parish to bless the supposedly sacrosanct blemish.
