CrowdMateCopenhagen’s concert week of Thursday, October 22 through Sunday, October 25 has plenty of scale: orchestra halls, late club lineups and busy rooms across the city. The single date that asks for a different kind of attention lands at the close of it. On Sunday, October 25, Dutch composer and lutenist Jozef Van Wissem plays Rust, bringing a solo practice built from Renaissance and Baroque lute traditions, minimal repetition, drones, electronics and field recordings. The concert sits on an October route that moves from Rotterdam, Milan, Salzburg and Winterthur into Copenhagen, then on to Warsaw and Bucharest. That itinerary makes the Rust date feel like a properly routed European stop, yet the music itself is geared toward close listening and suspended time.[1][2][3]
Van Wissem has made the lute central to a body of work that stretches well beyond historical repertoire. His own account traces the instrument’s classical roots alongside no wave, industrial and minimalist influences, while describing pieces shaped by drones, electronics, voice and recorded environments. Rust’s presentation identifies the instrument itself as an all-black baroque lute and frames the music around hypnotic, sparse and shadowed atmospheres. Those descriptions point to an evening where attack, resonance and repetition carry as much weight as a conventional song form. For listeners whose attention has been pulled toward loud bills or crowded dance floors through the week, this is an invitation to follow detail at its own pace.[1][3]
The film connection gives the show an accessible way in without reducing it to soundtrack nostalgia. Festival de Cannes credits Van Wissem with music for Jim Jarmusch’s 2013 feature Only Lovers Left Alive, alongside SQÜRL; his official biography also places that collaboration among a long-running practice of composing for moving images. The association matters because his live work often has a cinematic sense of duration: tones linger, melodic fragments return, and the space around a phrase can become part of the material. Rust’s programme describes a sound where archaic references and contemporary texture share the same frame, which is a useful expectation to bring into the room.[1][3][4]
A Nørrebro room for concentrated sound
Rust is an especially fitting setting for this date. The Nørrebro venue’s current programme moves freely between concerts and club nights, placing Van Wissem’s Sunday performance after a Friday visit from Polish hyperpop jazz-punk duo vgtbl.pl and a Saturday programme of alternative live electronic acts. His appearance changes the week’s scale inside the same building: the focus moves from scene-setting volume and collective momentum to the grain of plucked strings, long sustain and small shifts in texture. It is a persuasive reason to make the trip on a Sunday, when Copenhagen’s calendar often begins to wind down but an attentive room can still feel fully charged.[1]
Practical details: Jozef Van Wissem plays Rust on Sunday, October 25, at 20:00; doors open at 19:00. Rust lists the venue at Guldbergsgade 8 in Nørrebro, and the artist’s own tour page also confirms the Copenhagen stop. Arrive early enough to settle in before the performance begins, especially if the appeal is the possibility of hearing the lute’s quiet edges within a live room. Check Rust’s official programme and Van Wissem’s official tour page again before leaving for current ticket, door-time and event information.[1][2]
