About Me

Solo affair by L'Altra co-creator, Joseph Desler Costa. Costa Music enlists the production and composition skills of Marc Hellner(Marriages, Pulseprogramming), the mixing chops of Joshua Eustis(Telefon Tel Aviv) and an array of other musicians and collaborators including cellist Fred Lonberg-Holm, guitarist Alfredo Nogueira(The Race), pianist Chanel Pease and vocalist Aleksandra Tomaszewska(Aleks and the Drummer). Costa, Hellner and their collaborators build landscapes of intricate and weaving sounds, tangled electronic beats and soaring melodies; the lows are lower; the highs are higher... Chicago/NYC based songwriter and visual artist, Joseph Desler Costa has released albums with L'Altra for Aesthetics Records and Hefty Records before moving into this solo life. Costa has performed throughout Europe, North and South America. Other collaborations include he and Hellner's film score for the Chilean film, PLAY (Best Picture, Tribeca Film Festival 2005).
