ORGANIC ELECTRONIC MUSIC
About
thds is a Belgian-Portuguese composer and multi-instrumentalist. He combines palpable
ethnic and acoustic inputs with a jazzy and melody-driven electronic music. His live
performances contrast with standard electronic live acts due to the use of his voice instruments on
stage. The recurrence of slow tempos unlocks
space for the listener to breathe and savor the playfulness of thds when it comes to sound
design and arrangement details.
Since the beginning in 2018, thds has released music on record labels such as
Akumandra (New York), Bar 25 (Berlin) and Sol Selectas (Los Angeles) and performed
with his voice and instruments at respected venues such as Claire (Amsterdam), Monsieur
Mouche (Paris) or Klein.Garten (Istanbul).
