Tam / João Santos


Main image



Producing since 2003, TAM had is first musical experience working as a Dj in a duo named TAMDMD. He began developing his own ideas in 2004, using the possibilities offered by electronics and digital means. His working method is very simple: recording/sampling the analogical sound of musical instruments and reworking them afterwards digitally. The sounds presented are intensely cinematic. The music tries to express something visual, tries to tell something without words. It can be understood as a soundscape, or as a simple song, but that depends on the listener.
Runs the record label Wasser Bassin since 2011.
