Over the years he’s released countless solo albums stretching into double figures, there’s been collaborations with Jim Jarmusch and Tilda Swinton, award-winning computer game soundtracks, along with award-winning film soundtracks, from Jarmusch’s Only Lovers Left Alive to Pierre Creton’s 2023 film A Prince. Since studying the lute in New York with Patrick O’Brien in the 1990s, Van Wissem has gone on to create works equally as rooted in classical Renaissance and Baroque forms of lute music, as contemporary sounds spanning drones, electronics and field recordings. Throw in some of his formative influences from the no wave and industrial scenes, alongside a dedicated approach to minimalism and this has resulted in Van Wissem producing distinct and singular work whose sound is often a marriage of opposites; meditative and intense, forward thinking but with a sense of the arcane. The Quietus has called him “probably the most famous lutenist in the world”. The genesis for his latest album began during lockdown in Warsaw, where Van Wissem splits his time between Rotterdam. “The Call of the Deathbird” was the first song he wrote from the album and is the first to be shared, along with an accompanying video today. Over a hypnotic yet beautifully fluid and plucked melody – captures scenes of deserted streets, death and the intense isolation that gripped us all. One of the relatively rare tracks that Van Wissem sings on – along with some stirring and enveloping guest vocals from Hilary Woods (who will tour with Van Wissem later this year – details below) – his towering voice circles above the music much like the swooping deathbird he sings of. Normally Van Wissem writes all the music for one album within a confined period but this one song from a few years ago stuck around and took on a new lease of life and so joined a bunch of freshly written songs for the album. While one song written during, and about, the pandemic came to be the album’s centerpiece, the rest of the album grapples with the world as it moved on and all the dualism and dichotomies that followed. “It has to do with darkness and light,” Van Wissem says of the album. “The title can mean different things to people but sometimes people say that if I play a happy piece of music that it still sounds sad. So this is why I came up with that title.” Artist Jozef Van Wissem Genre Leftfield / Experimental Label Incunabulum Records Buying Options 1LP Format 1LP Condition New Country UK Track Listings The Devil is a Fair Angel and the Serpent a Subtle Beast The Call of the Deathbird With Our Hands Our Hearts To Raise In Exile Here We Wander Slowly The Rays of Daylight Fade May The Bright Gate Welcome You The Day of the Lord Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Leftfield / Experimental View Product Quick View Inventions Continuous Portrait Leftfield / Experimental | Temporary Residence | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 10th July 2020 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Inventions Continuous Portrait £23.00 Genre: Leftfield / Experimental Label: Temporary Residence SKU: TRR346LPC1 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 10th July 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Wolf Eyes Slicer Electronica | Orion Read | 1LP Released 11th September 2015 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Wolf Eyes Slicer £16.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Orion Read SKU: OR-14LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 11th September 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Videodrones Mondo Ferox Leftfield / Experimental | El Paraiso | 1LP Released 7th October 2016 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Videodrones Mondo Ferox £19.00 Genre: Leftfield / Experimental Label: El Paraiso SKU: EPR036LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 7th October 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Trentemøller Obverse Leftfield / Experimental | In My Room | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released 27th September 2019 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Trentemøller Obverse £22.00 Genre: Leftfield / Experimental Label: In My Room SKU: IMR33LP Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released Date: 27th September 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Sly & Robbie and Nils Petter Molvaer Nordub Leftfield / Experimental | Okeh | 2LP Released 6th April 2018 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Sly & Robbie and Nils Petter Molvaer Nordub £21.00 Genre: Leftfield / Experimental Label: Okeh SKU: 88985406341 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 6th April 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Barry Adamson, Pan Sonic & The Hafler Trio The Hymn Of The 7th Illusion Leftfield / Experimental | Cold Spring Records | 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 15th December 2017 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Barry Adamson, Pan Sonic & The Hafler Trio The Hymn Of The 7th Illusion £21.00 Genre: Leftfield / Experimental Label: Cold Spring Records SKU: CSR241LP Formats: 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 15th December 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View John Cage Early Electronic & Tape Music Leftfield / Experimental | Sub Rosa | 1LP Released 14th October 2016 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders John Cage Early Electronic & Tape Music £19.00 Genre: Leftfield / Experimental Label: Sub Rosa SKU: SRV361 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 14th October 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Mid-Air Thief Gongjoong Doduk Leftfield / Experimental | Topshelf | 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 28th July 2023 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Mid-Air Thief Gongjoong Doduk £24.00 Genre: Leftfield / Experimental Label: Topshelf SKU: LPTSR222C Formats: 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 28th July 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Cabaret Voltaire Red Mecca Electronica | Rough Trade | 1LP Released 4th January 2024 £20.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Cabaret Voltaire Red Mecca £20.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Rough Trade SKU: nn278485 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 4th January 2024 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View John Zorn Naked City Jazz | 1972 | 2LP Released 9th June 2018 £28.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders John Zorn Naked City £28.00 Genre: Jazz Label: 1972 SKU: IF34 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 9th June 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Leftfield / Experimental Start again
