Item Description
Air Lows is the debut solo album by Silvia Kastel. The Italian artist has been a fixture of the
underground since her precocious teens, clocking up many miles in Control Unit with Ninni Morgia,
including collaborations with the likes of Smegma, Factrix, Gary Smith, Aki Onda and Gate (Michael
Morley of The Dead C). Both solo and in her work with others, Kastel has explored the outer limits
and inner workings of no wave, industrial, dub, extreme electronics, free rock and improvisation. Air
Lows is both her fullest and most refined offering to date, a work of vivid, isolationist electronics
which draws deeply on her past experience but breaks new ground. Prompted by a late-flowering
interest in techno and club music, Kastel sought to create something which combines a steady
rhythmic pulse with the otherworldly sonorities of musique concrete, and avant-garde synth sounds
inspired by Japanese minimalism and techno-pop (Haruomi Hosono's Philharmony being a particular
favourite). The formal artifice of muzak / elevator music, the intros and outros of generic popular
songs, the extreme light-heavy contrasts of jungle, the creative sampling of hardcore, and the very
"human" synths in the jazz of Herbie Hancock's Sextant and Sun Ra: all were touchstones for Air
Lows' conception and composition, and all strains of music addressing - or complicating - the
relationship between the human and the technological.
