About the Artists
Composer and lutenist Jozef van Wissem is devoted to what he terms "The Liberation of the Lute". Taking an experimental approach to Renaissance and Baroque forms of lute music, his compositions for the instrument have involved a dynamic mix of conceptual, minimalist, classical and improvisational strategies, seamlessly bridging the language of 17th century music with that of the 21st, without compromising the timbre and resonance of traditional lute playing techniques.
Spain are a Los Angeles-based alternative rock band founded in 1993 by Josh Haden (son of jazz bass legend Charlie Haden). Spain's debut 1995 CD, The Blue Moods of Spain, garnered them a devoted cult following and enabled the band to tour the U.S., Europe, and Australia. The album was included on many music magazine "best of" lists for the year. Spain performed on French TV, and opened for Cocteau Twins during the Uk atmospheric music legends' final U.S. tour.
NOW is Los Angeles based Kevin Litrow (creator and founder of 60 Watt Kid, cofounder of Dance Disaster Movement). Kevin's new project is filed under the name "Crack Pop" and consists of live looping and moving funk rhythms while constructing "out of the ordinary" pop songs around it.
