The New York-based Dutch lutenist Jozef Van Wissem has been given wider exposure with the award-winning soundtrack he composed for Jim Jarmusch's film "Only Lovers Left Alive". As an avant-garde composer as well as a baroque lutenist, on this overtly melodic album he pushes the lute's agenda out of the academy and into more accessible circles.
Unusually, as well as the music, Van Wissem has written and performed hypnotic vocals for some of the nine compositions and on one he is joined by Jim Jarmusch, on guitar, and Lebanese singer Yasmine Hamdan. The album also features electronic programming on a couple of tracks.
1. If There's Nothing Left Where Will You Go?
2. Love Destroys All Evil
3. Once More With Feeling
4. Confinement
5. Wherever You Will Live I Will Live
6. You Can't Take It With You
