“Dutch composer and lute player Jozef Van Wissem specializes in electronics, field recordings and original palindromic compositions that sound the same when played backwars or forward. Recent offerings have paired Van Wissem with guitarists Gary Lucas and Tetuzi Akiyama, but he returns to the solo format for Objects in Mirror Are Closer Than They Appear. Though Van Wissem draws inspiration from renaissance period forms, the use of computer-edited airport recordings fixes these pieces fimly in the now, and this approach to the lute is such that this CD would not be out of place in the John Fahey section of your muisc collection. Dreamy, oblique and minimal, the music insinuates itself into the listener's mind like a subliminal message or an overheard snippet of conversation"--Pete Gershon, Signal To Noise
