The work of Brussels-based sound artist and researcher Lukas de Clerck as Bloedneus & de Snuitkever is centred around the Aulous, an ancient-Greek double reeded double pipe extinct for over a millenia.
This speculative reimagining of the Aulous is inevitably auto-didactic, and De Clerk engages in both solo and collaborative forays into these sound-worlds. In both his solo performances as Bloedneus & de Snuitkever — and as part of the duo Ï Î with the violist Victor Guaita Igual — De Clerck embraces the tension between the extra and the ordinary. Through his use of recognizable, almost everyday sounds, and by putting actions like gargling, whistling and sneezing in an artistic context, De Clerck creates connections between the audience and its spatial environment.
