Jozef van Wissem canceled at the last minute due to illness. Sorry, no broadcast.
Alexander Turnquist and Evan Randall are now playing the show.
is a noted minimalist lute player. Over the last two decades, van Wissem has variously used cut-and-paste tactics, field recordings, free improvisation, and created palindromic compositions by playing pieces forwards and then backwards. He has records out on Important Records and his own Incunabulum label and has collaborated with James Blackshaw, Keiji Haino and Jim Jarmusch amongst others. Van Wissem studied lute in New york with Pat O’Brien and released a classical lute CD A Rose By Any Other Name consisting of anonymous lute pieces. He lectures on “The Liberation of the Lute” (at Harvard, Wesleyan University, Mills College amongst others) and was commissioned by The National Gallery of London to compose a sound piece to Hans Holbein���s painting The Ambassadors. He has performed previously at free103point9 shows in Brooklyn. Alexander Turnquist, a Hudson 12-string guitarist heard often on WGXC, will also perform, and the two have played together before. This show will be live on WGXC 90.7-FM from 8 p.m. until 9:30 p.m., and then only on the internet at www.wgxc.org after 9:30 p.m. http://jozefvanwissem.com/ http://www.alexanderturnquist.com/
