Cay Castillo is a Drone Music studio alias for synthesizer drones with an industrial edge. A single analogue monosynth is pushed through distortion, bit reduction and metallic resonators, producing sustained tones that sound like machinery running in an empty hall.
The pieces are monolithic, with few layers but a lot of internal movement within the distorted tone. The atmosphere is harsh but controlled, more oppressive than loud. These works suit listeners who appreciate raw synthesizer sound, and they benefit from being played at a steady, moderate level rather than very loud.
