Lisa Gerrard has teamed up with Marcello De Francisci to release two new soundtracks.

The first is Insight (with a great cover art) which judging from the samples is very much about slightly awkard ambience and haunting string rumbles creating a thick atmosphere. The occasional piano and brass moment breeze in but one of the main effects used is the one of reversed broken glass. Lisa’s vocals do make occasional appearances but not often.

The second is Oranges and Sunshine which feels more melodic and centers around piano and string interaction with other tuned percussive instruments dropping in and out. This feels like the most straightforward soundtrack Lisa has done to date by the way how you actually hear a tune throughout and recurring motifs.

Both scores are available on Lisa Gerrard’s website.
