Duality

Lisa Gerrard , Pieter Bourke

1998
4AD

Pieter Bourke had already worked with Lisa Gerrard as a contributing musician on The Mirror Pool but Duality was their formal debut as creative partners. It’s perhaps slightly more retrospectively famous due to two key tracks, “Tempest” and “Sacrifice,” carrying over to their score for The Insider, while the mysterious beauty of the opening “Shadow Magnet” would go on to inspire Gerrard’s work on Gladiator with Hans Zimmer. But in its own right, it’s simply entrancing, her singing and his rhythms creating a ritualistic sense of rapture and sublime awe.
