LINTD

Musician

Based in Manchester, LINTD is the musical alias of Nigerian-born composer, producer, and filmmaker Iyunoluwanimi Yemi-Shodimu, a vital force in contemporary black British experimental music. His work moves through gothic, cinematic sound worlds with disarming charm – darkness wrapped in something tender, strange, and soft. Operating across multiple monikers (GOMID, SMOOCH SOUNDSYSTEM, FEED), he has collaborated with leading figures of the Northern English experimental scene, including Space Afrika, Iceboy Violet, 96 Back, Balraj Samrai, and Porter Brook.

LINTD’s practice spans music, film, installation, and research, seeking to create worlds where marginalised people can inhabit their fullest, most emancipated selves. He has hosted events in key UK underground venues such as The White Hotel, Venue MOT, Camden Arts Centre, and Peckham Audio, and has held recent residencies with Manchester Collective, PRS New Music Biennial, Complicité, and Opera North. His multimedia work has been presented by Factory International and at the Southbank Centre.

His latest record, DOGTOOTH. And Other Such Tales of the Macabre (2025), deepens his intrepid sonic universe: a suite of visceral, intimate compositions that whisper, snarl, and shimmer.
