CONCEPCION HUERTA Schallplatten & CDs

Review: Concepcion Huerta's debut solo album, The Earth Has Memory, marks a significant milestone for the accomplished Mexican artist. Known for manipulating everyday objects and electronic instruments using tape, Huerta crafts a dense, atmospheric blend of dark ambient and noise music. Recorded at Elektronmusikstudion in Stockholm, and refined during a seminar at UNAM with Olivia Block, the album employs Buchla and Nord instruments processed through magnetic tape which imbues the compositions with a tactile, organic quality. Huerta's narrative-driven approach delves into a descent to Earth's core, evoking abstract resonances and geological movements that are all complemented by Magaly Ugarte's vivid photography from a transformative visit to a Hidalgo obsidian mine
