New Collaboration - Engine-EarZ Experiment
Engine-EarZ Experiment are a musical collective born out of the Dubstep scene in early 2009 centering around acclaimed multi-instrumentalist/scorer/dj/producer Prashant Mistry. Lisa recently finished a collaboration with Prashant titled "Spirit Guide" which will feature on the Engine-EarZ' forthcoming album. Growing up in Britain with Asian roots, Prash had always sought to reconcile his varied musical influences from The Prodigy and Rage Against The Machine through to Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and Talvin Singh. Indeed, working towards Engine-EarZ's debut album [working title 'Symbol'] the focus is to smash glass divides between genres and ideologies; fusing indigenous musics from around the world with elements of dubstep, drum'n'bass, electronica and rock.  Stay tuned to our next newsletter for the release date for this album!

New Score - "Oranges & Sunshine"
We are pleased to be able to finally announce a new Lisa Gerrard Score for 2010. Oranges and Sunshine recounts the true story of Margaret Humphreys, a social worker from Nottingham who uncovered an international scandal. The film details the extraordinary story of organized deportation of children from across the United Kingdom to Australia. From British director Jim Loach, Oranges & Sunshine will star Emily Watson, David Wenham and Hugo Weaving. Lisa will be providing the entire score with plans for a soundtrack album also in the works!

Oranges & Sunshine is a Sixteen Films co-production with See-Saw Films and was filmed on location in Nottingham and London before relocating to South Australia. It will be released by Icon Entertainment International later this year. As many of you know Lisa is a strong advocate for the plight and representation of children and is honoured to be contributing her music to the film.

New Joint-Score - "Tears of Ghaza"
Lisa is also currently working on a joint-score for the upcoming film Tears of Ghaza with fellow composer Marcello de Francisci. Tears of Ghaza is a feature documentary that tells the many stories of the victims of Ghaza, particularly the children who have died and survived the war. Just like Oranges & Sunshine this film is a moving story and sure to open many eyes. Lisa and Marcello are proud to be creating the score and we hope to have more information on Tears of Ghaza in next month's newsletter so stay tuned.

Upcoming Japanese Promotional Tour
Following on from the success of her contribution to the opening theme for the NHK television series Ryomaden, Lisa has been invited by the national broadcaster to do a brief promotion tour in Japan at the end of May.
