Kerosene Sneeze is a love improvisational project of Loto Retina on drums, Lukas De Clerck on telescopic aulos and drone, Ossia on electronics and effects. As a solo artist and also as member of Alto Fuero duo Loto Retina combines micro-sample chaos and gloopy bass with unpredictable percussion to create a congregation of organic and mechanical sounds. Lukas De Clerck as a composer and musician, he specialises in the aulos: a long-extinct double-reeded Greco-Roman instrument. On his new album The Telescopic Aulos of Atlas, released by Stephen O'Malley’s label Ideologic Organ, De Clerck reinvents the aulos as the eponymous telescopic aulos, which stands upright like a sculpture. Ossia is a key figure of Bristol leftfield bass and dub music, among the founding members of Young Echo collective.
