thds is a Belgian-Portuguese composer and multi-instrumentalist who combines ethnic and acoustic influences to a melodic and organic electronic music. His live performances contrast with standard electronic live acts due to the use of his voice, live-looping and acoustic instruments on stage. The recurrence of slower 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).
