Sydney, Australia
Mantheos is the Sydney-based composer, producer and performer behind Cognitive Distortion.
A guitarist since his early teens, Mantheos returned to music in 2026 after years away, embarking on an unexpected period of creative exploration.
Within just three months, he composed, performed and produced his debut album, Duality.
Defying conventional genre boundaries, Cognitive Distortion ventures through orchestral music, flamenco, trip-hop, electronica, synthwave, rock and deep house, interwoven with Latin rhythms and soaring melodic guitar leads.
The result is a musical landscape of contrasts, where acoustic traditions meet electronic experimentation, tenderness collides with intensity, and seemingly opposing musical worlds find common ground.
