LudoWic
Matheus Lodewijk (1973), known as LudoWic, is a Dutch musician, composer and multidisciplinary artist whose work moves between experimental electronics, forgotten instruments and spatial sound. He has developed a distinctive sonic world built around aging synthesizers, tape machines, resonator speakers and forgotten electronic instruments whose instability and unpredictability became essential parts of the creative process. His music often balances fragile intimacy with overwhelming physicality, combining nostalgic textures with a cinematic sense of space and movement.
His latest work, Nunc Stans, marks a further evolution of that sonic universe. Created during four months of near-total isolation, the album reflects on impermanence, memory and the experience of time itself. Alongside the Trautonium, LudoWic brings the Ondes Martenot into his work — another rare early electronic instrument whose voice carries both fragility and intensity.
This physical and emotional immediacy continues into LudoWic’s live performances. Surrounded by an intricate landscape of analog instruments, cables, resonator speakers and tape echoes, every sound is created and manipulated in real time. Rather than hiding the process behind screens or abstraction, the performances place the act of sound creation fully in view, allowing audiences to experience not only the music itself, but also the gestures, imperfections and interactions that shape it in the moment.
