Lukas De Clerck is a musician and sound-artist from Belgium. His artistic practice is centered around the aulos, an ancient Greco-Roman, double-reeded double pipe, that got extinct more than a millennium ago. After several years of delving deep in the practice of aulos reed making and playing replicas of ancient instruments, he opens up his inevitably auto-didact artistic output. Following the desire to strip the instrument from its enigmatic past, De Clerck created a new, contemporary aulos: the telescopic aulos of atlas. This instrument formed the foundation for his three day long residencies in Het Concreet in April 2025. The deep sonority of the instrument proved to be a match made in heaven with our tape manipulations.
