Los Angeles, CA 90041Acclaimed lutenist Jozef Van Wissem celebrates his latest release on

Important Records!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.
