Pedro Latas (They / He) is a freelance composer, multimedia artist, performer and creative coder from Portugal, currently based in The Hague, The Netherlands.

They hold a Bachelor's degree in Composition from the Superior School of Music of Lisbon (2016-2019) where they studied with João Madureira and Carlos Caires and a Bachelor and Master's degree in Composition from the Royal Conservatoire of The Hague (2019-2023) having studied under the guidance of Yannis Kyriakides and Mayke Nas and with Alison Isadora as supervisor. They also attended the Sonology One-Year Course at the Institute of Sonology (2023-2024).

Their work draws inspiration from their own queer identity as well as other queer experiences in a world that seeks to suppress non-normative bodies and existences.

Driven by the struggle for body autonomy and integrity, Pedro researches the deeply rooted interconnections between digital media and how it reframes the inherent entanglement between human bodies and their environments. Their work focuses then mostly on the production of computer-assisted performances and live (interactive or generated) electronics.

From ensemble works to solo live-electronics performance, Pedro wishes to engage in radical acts of appreciation of - and care for - the human body, finding beauty and power in all the limitations it entails. Through these acts, Pedro hopes that radical acts of solidarity towards one another will naturally arise.

Beyond compositional work, their practice also delves into collective free-improvisation, occasional DJ'ing and radio broadcasting.
