Gustavo Costa

Porto, 1976. His sonic vision is described by a constant permeability to various musical styles but with a common denominator: experimentation and the constant desire for stylistic renewal. Active in the underground scene since the early 90s, he maintained an interest and parallel activity in the academic world, studying percussion, musical technologies, sonology, theory, composition and digital media, and teaching at various higher education institutions in Portugal. In a period of 30 years, he was part of countless bands and formations from various stylistic spectra, collaborating with hundreds of musicians and performing regularly around the globe. In recent years he has concentrated a large part of his activity in Sonoscopia, the collective and association of which he is a founder and where he dedicates himself to the sonic exploration through various formats of creation and collaboration.
