Crash: Uncredited Female Vocals

On a shoestring budget, Mark Isham creatively incorporated female vocals from previously recorded music, as well as crafting original music from his own audio equipment, to produce a deeply emotional and atmospheric score for Crash.

According to the comments posted to the Soundtrack Info website (http://www.soundtrackinfo.com/title/crash2005.asp) by both fans and the artists themselves, there are 5 tracks containing uncredited female vocals:

'Safe Now', 'Negligence', and 'Saint Christopher' are sung beautifully by Catherine Grant, while 'Flames' and 'Sense Of Touch' incorporate a traditional Welsh tune called "Lisa Lan," recorded by Carol Ensley on the CD "Vocal Planet."

Per Carol Ensley, "Catherine Grant...did the Farsi (Persian) song and the Latin chant. She is a professional ethnic singer. Carol Ensley (that's me) did the other female vocals. I sang an old Welsh tune called Lisa Lan and Isham built his score around it." [quote found at: http://www.soundtrackinfo.com/title/crash2005.asp]

'Lisa Lan' is a traditional Welsh love song. Isham's decision to build this tune into the score was inspired and a show of brilliance. It is both beautiful and haunting and he manages to elicit the conflict of emotions that only death can produce - grief, love, pain, longing and hope. The first line of the song is "Bum yn dy garu lawer gwaith" or "I have loved you for a long time."

The track 'Flames' uses both Farsi and Latin lyrics and again is brilliantly written into the score by Isham.

Incidentally, both Grant (Seattle) and Ensley (Ocean Shores) make their homes in the beautiful state of Washington.
