The story behind why Dries Tack began playing the clarinet remains a mystery, possibly rooted in his parents’ efforts to keep him off the streets. Regardless, Dries pursued his studies at the conservatories of Brussels, Antwerp, and Tilburg. His fascination with noise and the joy of sharing ideas led him to a deep love for chamber music, contemporary experimental music, and music theatre. As a clarinet and object player, Dries performs with renowned groups such as the Belgian Ensemble Nadar, Ensemble Fractales, Ensemble Styx, and the Curious Chamber Players from Sweden. He is also a core and founding member of the GLoW Collective. 

Alongside his ensemble work, Dries explores the boundaries of instrumental and object playing in his solo projects. A passionate teacher, he has served as a guest professor at the Royal Conservatoire of Brussels and the High School of Music in Basel. He currently enjoys trail running and is experimenting with baking his own sourdough bread.
