            Subject: DCD in Mexico. Interview with Lisa.


      Here is a traduction of part of an interview that Lisa Gerrard
      made to one of the most important mexican newspapers:

      - Did you found, while  creating The Mirror Pool the perfect space of
      liberty t o make music?

      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
