about

“The Call of the Deathbird” unwinds with sharp and rippling lute playing – despite the minimal instrumentation, there is an evocative atmosphere, with the instrument rapidly stretching out ahead under an immense grey sky. When Van Wissem and Woods’ voices arrive, they sing in a silvery tandem about the “distant cries of the elders dying” and other foreboding figments. Van Wissem’s voice is gruff and tethered to the cold ground, but Woods’ is light and angelic, and when it breaks free from the harmony it circles above like the titular Deathbird, waiting for the impending end. Contrastingly, Van Wissem’s gruff voice comes clear and direct, describing fantastical images and wondrous dreams that have lured him on this trip – and will keep you gripped to the very end.

Van Wissem is ‘both an avant-garde composer and a baroque lutenist, and thus no stranger to dichotomy,’ (New York Times). He has been ‘pushing the lute’s agenda out of the academy and into more accessible circles’ (Pitchfork).
