There are different levels of complexity in the work. When you make it with a man sitting down next to you, you substract yourself in a way that you spend complete days waiting for a door to open so that the work has its own (independent) life. But if someone says a wrong word, everything can go to hell. Its terrible. Its something that destroys your nerves. On the other side, when you are working alone, you fight inside, in another way, with a huge simplicity, because you take a look to this work and you find out how much of a child you have when you are trying to compose all the accidents that have brought you to that. With the music we have a problem and the work concentrates in resolving it. The artistic work is a way to solve problems. Is like the sense of touching: Being touched by someone who loves us makes us free of the terrible reality of the human condition. When we make music we come closer to that kind of touching, to the real, honest way of touching. We are in contact with our deepest and more private feelings. There is no other way that we could still be around without it. The other thing to do is to make an abstraction of the human pain until it floats like a body in the universe, and then that pain comes back to the person until it makes him ready to go to the psychiatrist.

Can you say some words about the poetry without words of DCD?

Since I was a child, I remember that I started to sing without words and I noticed that I was saying the truth. It was an inmediate way of telling a story, and I could tell it in a fast-natural and different way without sitting down to think. Listen with the soul and with the ear is a kind of celebration. I just found a singing pray, an invocation: I noticed that the vocal work is another part of the human condition and not only the spiritual fragment. All the time I thought that it was only the spiritual voice. Its very difficult to talk about these topics, you know, because there is not a complete truth: each person is unique for itself in the way he understands life.

Are there going to be more albums from Lisa Gerrard?

Yes, of course, and please stop me (joking)

What about DCD's future?

I think we are going to do something more. We are waiting for Brendan to have time for himself and for his guitar and his musical writing; he has beautiful (musical) materials, beautiful ballads and whenever he is ready to share them I will have the opportunity of working with a small vocal group of orthodox rusians; I want to make a record with them.
