Costa, Gustavo
Nao Tem Volta
Gustavo Costa is a musician and an artist with numerous talents guided by a constant exploration of the limits of listening. He is a drummer, an instrument maker, a creator of new sounds, a sound sculptor, a teacher, a programmer, and a generous booster of the contemporary music and sound art that is made in Portugal nowadays. Do not expect regularity or simplicity, because rhythms flow incessantly with any kind of easy structure, but with almost supernatural strength. The record is composed of a series of short tracks, alternating between percussive minimalism and primitive beats, stripped-down, without any production tricks. 'Entropies And Mimetic Patterns' is a record full of resonances, in which Gustavo uses percussion to achieve the intangible and the drums to provoke pulsion, traveling in the abstract with remarkable physicality.
