Pedro “PMDS” Sousa was born on the island of São Miguel, in the Azores, where he completed his academic studies at the Ponta Delgada Regional Conservatory, finishing the 8th grade of music training and the 5th grade of piano. Since 2008, he has dedicated himself to composing and producing music in the electronic/experimental field and has developed skills in building unconventional instruments. In 2008, he formed the project PMDS with Filipe Caetano, releasing their first LP in 2011, followed by releases in 2019, 2021, and 2024. They have been increasingly active in national festivals and concerts with other artists. In 2023, he completed his postgraduate studies in Sound Art – Experimental Processes at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Lisbon. As a solo artist, he explores electronic landscapes rich in sequences, in the style of the Berlin school of Krautrock.
( Luís Senra )
Luís Senra is a musician and artist from Rabo de Peixe. He develops a body of work that seeks to explore the places we travel through and inhabit as a means of self-reference, expanded consciousness, personal transformation, and a sense of belonging. He does this through experiences and performances that invite and value observation, exploration, recognition, reflection, and meaning-making. He has created performances, workshops, experiences, and artistic residencies for art festival programs and cultural spaces across several islands of the Azores, mainland Portugal, and Spain. In 2020, he won the Walk&Talk Young Creators award, a program that recognizes Azorean artists.
