Fabio Costa (composer, conductor)

Fabio Costa was born in São Paulo, Brazil, to an engineer father and a psychologist mother, with family roots in Portugal and Italy (Costa is a dual Brazilian/Italian citizen). He was partly raised in Germany (1982–1984). His grandfather Waldemar Ciglioni was a popular radiophonic actor in his time, and great-grandfather Armando Ciglioni, a neapolitan-song composer/impresario and violinist at the São Paulo Opera House.

Costa started out musically self-taught at age 9 (piano and composition) deciding by age 14 to become a professional musician; he learned the oboe at age 16 and was active for the next 8 years as an orchestral oboist, chamber musician and soloist. He earned a bachelor's degree in oboe performance in 1995 and after a year of oboe studies at the Franz Liszt Academy of Budapest (1995–1996),[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pivv-41GLhM] he decided to pursue a career as a conductor.

Between 1996 and 1999 Costa studied at the Vienna Music Academy (opera and orchestral conducting in the class Uros Lajovic) with a scholarship of the Brazilian Government; he was also coached by Kurt Masur (São Paulo 2001 and 2003),{{Cite web |title=O Estado de S.

Costa has conducted about 350 performances to an estimated audience of over 150,000 attendants throughout his career.

Among his earlier works, the choral cantata "Psalms for the Earth" has been awarded the 2008 Composition Prize of the Brazilian Music Academy (II Prêmio Cláudio Santoro, 2008); this work already explored higher [https://en.xen.wiki/w/Harmonic_limit harmonic limits] by employing 19-limit just-intonation techniques. The electronic work "Excerpt from Meditation" [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXgZiDe3cIM] (2009) continued that path, exploring in 19-limit just-intonation (through an unequal division of the octave in 120 parts). He conducted his own "Prelude for Orchestra"[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FSDhAPr6UE] in 2009. In 2010, Costa's orchestral Work "In Four Dimensions" was a winner of the Composition Prize of the Brazilian National Foundation for the Arts (FUNARTE),{{Cite web |title=[PDF] PROGRAMAÇÃO DA 19ª BIENAL DE MÚSICA BRASILEIRA CONTEMPORÂNEA - Free Download PDF |url=https://silo.tips/download/programaao-da-19-bienal-de-musica-brasileira-contemporanea |access-date=2023-01-02 |website=silo.tips |language=en}}{{Cite web |last=Conte |first=Francisco |title=XIX Bienal de Música mostra produção contemporânea |url=https://musica.ufrj.br/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=952:xii-bienal-mostra-producao-contemporanea&catid=91:arquivo&Itemid=86 |access-date=2023-01-02 |website=Escola de Música da UFRJ |language=pt-br}} within the 2011 Biennale of Brazilian Contemporary Music being performed by the UFF National Symphony Orchestra.

He continued to explore microtonality in just-intonation ("O Cravo Brigou com a Rosa" 2010 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xsn0UOtGaAc]) but also 31-ED2 (soundtrack to "Potsdam in Time-Lapse" 2015 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvcaMksX2oQ]), a tuning system that allows for good approximation in higher harmonic limits and enharmonic modulation.

In this period Costa also started venturing into harmonic microtonal performance with the use of isomorphic or generalized keyboards in various tuning systems - such as unequal and equal divisions of the octave and just-intonation ("Improvisation" [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VswBvmpnS1c]. At the same time, he saw audio-design and virtual recordings as a means to realize new microtonal works ("....and while there he sighs...." adaptive just-intonation, orchestral version: _{[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DzVATHA2iXs video],} "Meditation" in 19-ED2 ) and also to put older musical works (e.g. by Gesualdo [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WdvzO-u5PMQ] Bach [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=woveprxo7pY] or Hába [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RO6dGF2GZf0] into new harmonic perspective, particularly with the use of 19-tone-equal-temperament.

Recent developments of this compositional work include the research of difference tones and arithmetic frequency sequences ("Etude on Difference Tones: Minor Thirds" 2022 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7l7s1Vr6lQ]) but also the ability to perform microtonally with the use of the electronic wind instrument (EWI) ("Short Piece in 72-ED2", 2022 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AzMOJWFrB_4])
