Angélica Castelló
Angélica Castelló is a Mexican-Austrian composer, flautist, improviser, sound artist – and magnetic tape weaver, an occupation that encapsules her whole oeuvre both metaphorically and literally. Her work combines pieces of life into electroacoustic spells – memories, death, comfort, trauma, resilience, the dreamlike, the subconscious – and invokes both the beauty and the challenges of life. Angélica Castelló studied music in Mexico City, Montréal, Amsterdam and Vienna, where she has lived since 1999. She holds a master’s degree in composition, is a three-time recipient of the Austrian Federal Ministry of Art and Culture’s scholarship (in 2011, 2016 and 2021) and was awarded the Austrian Federal Chancellor’s Office’s Outstanding Artist Award in 2014 and with the Ernst-Krenek-Preis in 2025. castello.klingt.org
