Alfredo Costa Monteiro

Alfredo Costa Monteiro (born 1964 in Porto) is a sound artist, composer, multi-instrumentalist and sound poet based in Barcelona. His experimental-music practice is shaped by conceptual restrictions and close attention to texture, materiality and acoustic detail.

Originally trained in sculpture and multimedia, he has worked since the 1990s across visual art, improvisation and sound. His instruments and media have included accordion, electric guitar, paper, objects, electronics and voice.
