Jozef Van Wissem & Jim Jarmusch: Concerning the Entrance into Eternity (Record Release Party)

Concerning The Entrance Into Eternity is an extraordinary new collaboration between Dutch lutenist Jozef Van Wissem and American filmmaker & guitarist Jim Jarmusch. Respectful of one another’s space the pair weave layers of melody and waves of feedback while acoustic guitar and lute wrap together with a subtle depth expemplifying an austere understanding and compatibility. Jarmusch’s guitar work is metaphysical, at times sounding like a hurdy gurdy and at other time sounding as if it is responding to the calls of the lute. The final piece,He Is Hanging By His Shiny Arms, His Heart An Open Wound With Love, finds Jarmusch accompanying a solo lute composition with a reading from St. John Of The Cross. With three titles named after Christian mystic Emanuel Swedenborg’s work, this record is extraordinary, new and arcane at the same time, modern but timeless.
