As part of a new series of playlists and mixes from artists performing at the festival, Rewire is proud to present a curated mix by Lukas De Clerck. 

The Brussels-based composer, musician, and artist Lukas De Clerck deals with ancient sonic tools – particularly, he specialises in the aulos, a near-extinct double-reeded Greco-Roman instrument. His self-taught experiments breathe new air, literally, into aulos, such as in his new album The Telescopic Aulos of Atlas (2024) which takes its name from an experimental reimagining of the aulos sculpted by De Clerck. Ahead of De Clerck’s upcoming performance at Rewire 2025, Rewire invited him to prepare a mix of wind instrument music.

De Clerck says of the mix:

“A wind-exclusive mix for the adventurous ear. Noise, Pulse, Drone. A focus on contemporary practices around inventing, reshaping or re-interpreting wind instruments into uncharted territories.”
