Musical artist

Jozef Van Wissem (born 1962) is a Dutch minimalist composer and lute player based in Brooklyn. Van Wissem wrote the music score for the video game, The Sims Medieval.

Career

Jozef Van Wissem's track "The Mirror of Eternal Light" was featured on The Garden of Forking Paths, a 2007 compilation curated by James Blackshaw. After that, he released two albums, All Things Are from Him, Through Him and in Him and The Wolf Also Shall Dwell with the Lamb, with Blackshaw as Brethren of the Free Spirit.

Jozef Van Wissem's solo albums, It Is All That Is Made (2009) and Ex Patris (2010), were both released on Important Records. He released The Joy That Never Ends, an album with Jim Jarmusch on the label in 2011. He also wrote a score for the video game The Sims Medieval.

Concerning the Entrance into Eternity, his first collaborative album with Jim Jarmusch, was released on Important Records in early 2012. The Mystery of Heaven, his second collaborative album with Jarmusch, was released on Sacred Bones Records later that year. "The More She Burns the More Beautifully She Glows", a track off the album, featured a guest appearance from Tilda Swinton. Van Wissem scored Jarmusch's 2013 film Only Lovers Left Alive with additional contributions from Sqürl.

Style and influences

According to NPR's All Songs Considered, "his compositions are heavy and set in hypnotic darkness". To date, Van Wissem has collaborated with numerous artists, including James Blackshaw, Jim Jarmusch, Gary Lucas, Tetuzi Akiyama, and Keiji Haino.
