Jozef Van Wissem: "In 2019 I was commissioned by Cinémathèque Française in Paris to compose the soundtrack to the restored original version of the Nosferatu film (1922). When I was writing the score, I found a Dutch double 7" record with sounds of extinct birds on the streets of Rotterdam. I manipulated these found bird sounds by using electronics and added them to the score." Personnel: Jozef Van Wissem - lute, electronics, beats, electric guitar, found bird sounds.

"Beginning with a lute solo, his soundtrack incorporates electric guitar and distorted recordings of extinct birds, graduating from subtlety to gothic horror. 'My soundtrack goes from silence to noise over the course of 90 minutes,' he said, culminating in 'dense, slow death metal.'" --The New York Times
