Concepción Huerta is a Mexican multidisciplinary artist working across sound, visual media, installation and performance. Based between Amsterdam and Mexico City, her practice brings together field recording, synthesis, tape manipulation, spatial composition and audiovisual forms, treating sound as a physical, narrative and political material. Emerging from photography and moving image, Huerta has become a key voice in Mexico’s experimental sound circuit, with work that sits between ambient, noise, drone and musique concrète while remaining rooted in questions of memory, place, silence, violence and embodied listening.

Her recordings often unfold like unstable terrains: dense, tactile environments where foley, electronics, processed tape and acoustic resonance become carriers of emotional and historical pressure. Alongside her solo work, Huerta is also part of the Mexico City ensemble Amor Muere with Mabe Fratti, Camille Mandoki and Gibrana Cervantes, a project praised for its collective approach to freeform chamber improvisation, electronics and voice. Her recent 2025 solo album El Sol de los Muertos, released on Umor Rex, is one of her most forceful statements to date: a subharmonic, tape-scarred work that draws on volcanic imagery, the open veins of Latin America, colonial memory and the subterranean force of histories that refuse to stay buried.
