Eduardo Cossio is a Peruvian-Australian musician and visual artist.

 

Based in Perth (Boorloo) since 2005, he has led his own bands and written music for film, dance and inter-disciplinary productions. His work spans songwriting, notated chamber pieces, experimental composition, and sound improvisation.

​

Originally a self-taught guitarist and multi-instrumentalist, Eduardo graduated with an Honours Degree in Composition & Music Technology at the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts in 2017. He has since developed a distinctive electro-acoustic practice using zithers, vocals, harmonica and electronics. This approach is best exemplified in the solo album, Citadels (Tone List, 2025).

​

Eduardo maintains collaborations with leading West Australian musicians such as Ross Bolleter, Josten Myburgh and Sage Pbbbt. He has also collaborated closely with national and international artists including Annette Krebs, Axel Dörner, Mattias Müller, Emilio Gordoa, Sabine Vogel, Alice Hui Shen Chang, Gabriella Smart, Laura Altman, Tina Stefanou, and Jim Denley. Eduardo has performed widely across Australia, Europe, Canada and Taiwan.

​​

He is an Australian Music Centre represented artist and has received APRA and WAM awards and nominations. In 2018 he was nominated WAM Industry Representative of the Year.

​

Eduardo is a prolific organiser, broadcaster, and writer in the Perth community. He runs Outcome Unknown (2016-) an experimental music series; presented on Difficult Listening on RTRFM92.1 (2016-2024); and his writing has appeared on local and national art magazines including UnMagazine, SeeSaw Mag, RealTime Arts, ADSR and Resonate Magazine. ​

​

As a visual artist he works across photography, video, and sound. He is interested in the articulation of space, form, and temporality between photography and other media. Following a studio-based practice, he creates props, stage sets, and light designs to produce ‘fabricated realities’, images that are strongly informed by experimental music approaches.

​

His work has been the subject of three solo exhibitions and has commissioned by the Geraldton Regional Art Galleries, State Library of WA, DADAA Inc, Tone List, and the Perth Centre for Photography.
