Nihil Obstat

A gorgeous new full-length from Dutch lutenist Jozef Van Wissem features long-form, graceful melodic lute layers preceded by suspenseful deep bass movements to create a transcendental and pastoral world, where hypnotic minimalist figures are repeated to slow the act of listening. Nihil Obstat ( Nothing Hinders ) is performed on Wissem s custom black lute built by Michael Schreiner.
