Abstract

Gustavo Costa closes a modelling trajectory of music in the line of Christopher Small. His taste for music started very early and became a fundamental part of his life. With the musical formation, came his integration in multiple national and international artistic projects and later appeared Sonoscopia, a cultural association that seeks to serve as a stage for experimental music in Portugal, making musicking a local, translocal and virtual scene. Thus, throughout this article and through the analysis of his life history, we aim to perspective the various forms of music that guide Gustavo Costa's daily life, from the creation of instruments from unconventional resources to artistic and cultural programming contributing to the (re)construction of alternative sonic landscapes in Porto, Portugal and even in the European space.
