Mini-tour in Italy for Jozef Van Wissem. The Dutch instrumentalist, a scholar of the lute, will be performing live in March to present his new album, "The Night Dwells In The Day2", released just a few weeks ago. Three dates are scheduled in our country for March: the 21st at Init in Rome, the 22nd at Spazio 211 in Turin, and the 23rd at Lunababana in Rosignano Solvay (Livorno).
Jozef Van Wissem, a native of Maastricht, brought the timbral potential of the lute back into the spotlight for the world of neo-classical folk, first in experimental works like "Narcissus Drowning" and the collection "Retrograde", and then, in an increasingly austere vein, on albums such as "A Rose By Any Other Name" and "Stations Of The Cross", alongside collaborative projects with Gary Lucas and James Blackshaw (Brethren Of The Free Spirit), right up to his latest solo work, "All That Is Made", on Important.
He then embarked on a fruitful partnership with director Jim Jarmusch for a series of soundtracks to his films, the most successful of which remains the one for "Only Lovers Left Alive", released together with Squrl in 2014.
The latest collaboration between the Dutch lutenist and the indie-film guru dates back to 2023 and is titled "American Landscapes".
