In 2013 Angélica Castelló set out on her sound expedition to the Lofoten archipelago off the Norwegian coast accompanied by Susanna Niedermayr and the bio-acoustics researcher Heike Vester. Recordings of the sounds of the sea are mixed with instrumental and electronic sounds to create the imaginary underwater world Sonic Blue.

Angélica Castelló

Angélica Castelló is a Mexican-Austrian composer, recorder player, electronic musician and sound artist. She studied music in her native town of Mexico City, later in Montréal, Amsterdam and Vienna. Her compositions, abstract improvisations, electroacoustic works and performances are characterised by a magic sonic realism (realismo mágico sonoro), and yet they are inspired by very real people and true stories. Her extravagant style can be heard on various CDs, for instance on her solo CD Bestiario (mosz 024), and experienced in a variety of settings, from live performances to sound installations (elektro altar, faunanosiva: cheap love). She has received a number of commissions, has played at international festivals and regularly collaborates with renowned musicians from all over the world.
