Biography
A musician from an early age, Luke Aaron Clark formed his first band as a teenager. After studying at the BIMM Institute in Brighton, he participated in artist residency programmes and began working on a number of creative projects as a singer-songwriter. This has enabled him to work alongside many artists, poets and musicians, to compose film scores and to create exhibitions and sound performances in various countries.

With a wealth of creative experience under his belt, Luke set himself the challenge of writing a debut acoustic folk rock EP. He turned to producer Wes King to surround himself with world-class musicians such as Brent Milligan on double bass, John Catchings on cello, Daniel Bernard Roumain on violin, Ken Lewis on drums and Buddy Greene on harmonica, and recorded his Paper Tongue project in Nashville, USA.

Soon after, Luke developed a passion for acoustics and the relationship between architecture and sound, our natural environment and everyday human interaction within it. He began to explore these themes through live performances, sound design, public interventions, architectural installations and films. Within a few years, the artist created numerous works and exhibitions around the world such as Progeny  (Florida, 2012-2015), Tap (Medellin, Colombia, South America, 2012), Bicycle Postcards (Gand, Belgium, 2010-2012) or Spinning (Stockholm, Sweden, 2015). He also collaborated twice with Belgian director Luc Gobyn on the experimental films Grand Palais deuxmilledix and Romanticos de Las Marismas.

After spending a lot of time on the road, Luke came to live in France and embarked on a new project: transforming the old town hall of Chailland into a residential recording studio. To create Flow Studios, he undertook a meticulous three-year construction process under the direction of acoustician John Brandt. Located an hour and a half from Paris-Montparnasse train station, this studio combines 120m² of recording and mixing space with 150m² of residential facilities.This project allowed Luke to work as a sound engineer for many artists such as Crystal Murray (Because Music), Lujipeka (Universal Music), Clou (Tôt ou tard) ou encore Malena Zavala et Christof van der Ven. Equipped with a Solid State Logic mixing console, the studio is known for its facilities and location.

In 2023, Luke Aaron Clark resumed composing from his studio nestled in the heart of nature while hosting artists. His musical influences are diverse, ranging from Beach Boys to Bob Dylan and James Blake or RY X.
