New on Umor Rex / We’re excited to announce “El Sol de los Muertos” by Concepción Huerta @cncpcn —her second album on Umor Rex (catalog UR156). Available on cassette & digital for pre-order now at @anostanost & Bandcamp; shipping begins May 15. Crafted in a subharmonic framework and tape‑manipulated, this album is Concepción Huerta’s sharpest, most abrasive and exhilarating work yet. Rooted in drone and musique concrète, its visceral textures evoke vivid, image‑driven narratives. Huerta’s sound conjures the earth’s open veins—Latin America’s lava rivers of fire—symbolizing dispossession, resource extraction, and colonization. The album warns that these injustices, often relegated to history, still shape our world. It serves as both a tribute to the literary work of Eduardo Galeano, one of the most influential voices of Latin American leftist thought, and a howl from the Lacandon jungle in Mexico, resonating with the Zapatista struggle, the resistance of the Guaraní people in Paraguay and Argentina, and the voices of Indigenous communities across Latin America. In 16th‑century Mexico, Visión de los vencidos gathered Nahuatl texts to tell the defeated’s side of history. Concepción Huerta’s El Sol de los Muertos isn’t a manifesto but an invitation to reflect, urging us to question official narratives and stay vigilant against modern fascism and colonialism. Recorded by Concepción Huerta in 2024 between Berlin, The Hague, and Mexico City. Volcano photography by Magaly Ugarte @wagicmagic . Mastered by Rafael Anton Irisarri at @blackknoll Studio New York. The cover was risograph printed in Barcelona by Mateo Barbuzzi aka @clubdelprado Design by Daniel Castrejón in Mexico City. #umorrex

Chicago, May 14, 2026 — Today, Mexico City and Berlin-based artist Concepción Huerta announces her new album No Queda Nada, Todo Resuena, arriving July 3 via Signal Noise. Built around the Buchla 200 system, magnetic tape, and 4-track cassette processes, the album explores memory, electricity, and recorded sound as unstable physical material. Consisting of two long-form pieces, the announcement arrives with the release of the full B-side piece, “Todo Resuena.” Limited edition of 100 vinyl. Recorded and mixed in Berlin in 2025. Audio Restoration and Editing by Alex Inglizian at Experimental Sound Studio. Mastered by Stephan Mathieu at Schwebung Mastering. Lacquer cut by Carl Saff. Graphic design by Joe Gilmore.

SATURDAY 23 MAY: DEBIT + CONCEPCIÓN HUERTA A special double bill of two artists pushing Mexican and Latin American electronic music into radically different forms: DEBIT’s high-impact sound design, club mutation and research-driven composition alongside CONCEPCIÓN HUERTA’s tape-scarred worlds of field recording, synthesis, spatial sound and musique concrète. DEBIT is a composer, producer and performer whose work spans avant-garde experimentation, high-impact sound design, and the rhythmic architectures of Latin American dance music. For a decade she has helped recontextualise Latin American music by challenging sonic hierarchies and creating conceptually rigorous and physically direct records. Her new record Potpourri on NAAFI pushes her dancefloor language forward, while 2025’s Desaceleradas turned to cumbia rebajada - the half-speed Monterrey sound of Sonido Dueñez - re-voicing his tapes through ARP 2600, accordion and granular processing. 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 physical, narrative and political material. Her music sits between ambient, noise, drone and musique concrète, rooted in questions of memory, place, silence and embodied listening. Her 2025 album El Sol de los Muertos, released on Umor Rex, is one of her strongest statements to date: a subharmonic, tape-scarred work drawing on volcanic imagery, colonial memory and histories that refuse to stay buried. Two exceptional artists, two distinct approaches to electronics as archive, altered time, spatial memory and cultural transmission. Organised in collaboration with Instituto Cervantes Londres. 🎟 £20 door / £17 advance / £12 members → Tickets via link in stories and cafeoto.co.uk → Doors 7:30pm @deliabeat @cncpcn @institutocervanteslondon

Volo Vivace ritorna con cinque appuntamenti, da maggio a settembre, negli spazi de @leserredeigiardini e @serramadre.art Come un battito d’ali leggero e imprevedibile, attraversa la bella stagione accogliendo progetti artistici che abitano le soglie tra generi, linguaggi e geografie sonore. Con sensibilità eterogenee e pratiche artistiche che si muovono dalla composizione elettroacustica alla musica devozionale, al minimalismo e allo spoken word, indagando l’esperienza sonora nella sua dimensione esistenziale. Giovedì 7 l’opening della seconda stagione con la prima italiana di Concepción Huerta e ‘Perseo’ di de’ Lamperi. Dalle 19:30, ingresso gratuito. @cncpcn @de_lamperi @stefanopiliaviviani @nicolasremondino @jozefvanwissem @marcodalpane Per tutti gli aggiornamenti visual id @loopeenoh

21 MAIO CONCEPCION HUERTA Artista multidisciplinar com uma sólida formação em meios audiovisuais e um profundo interesse pelo espectro sonoro. O seu trabalho desenvolve-se em diferentes áreas, como o design de som, instalações de vídeo, concertos espacializados, narrativas especulativas e experiências imersivas. A sua abordagem ao som começa com uma reflexão sobre a relação entre o silêncio e o ruído, o espaço político e o agente sonoro como meio de enunciação.Investiga também a ressonância, o espaço acústico e o impacto físico e psicológico do som em relação ao ouvinte. A sua exploração sonora realiza-se através de gravações de objetos do quotidiano (foleys) e de instrumentos como sintetizadores, que, quando tocados e manipulados com gravadores e fitas processadas, criam atmosferas baseadas em elementos ambientais e ruidosos.Cria narrativas sonoras que, em vez de se inserirem num género musical específico, aproximam-se mais da construção de uma história imaginária. Incorpora o estudo da síntese, da eletricidade, da voltagem, dos formatos e da materialidade como parte da sua abordagem ao som. Explora-o desde o nível mais elementar e a forma como pode ser traduzido, criando pontes tecnológicas entre processos analógicos e digitais. Membro do coletivo experimental Amor Muere, juntamente com Gibrana Cervantes, Camille Mandoki e Mabe Fratti, com quem colaborou em várias publicações. Colabora na área sonora com diversos artistas como: Fernado Vigueras, CNDSD, Reick Reed, Tommi Keränen, Aime Theriot, Leslie García, Daniela Huerta, Hara Alonso, entre outros. cartaz por @matildemsjc

Tra drone, musica concreta e texture viscerali, Concepción Huerta presenta ‘El Sol de los Muertos’ (Umor Rex, 2025). L’album, tra i migliori dell'anno secondo Thurston Moore e A Closer Listen, è un omaggio all’opera letteraria di Eduardo Galeano e una riflessione sulle pratiche di resistenza contro l’esproprio, l’estrazione delle risorse e la colonizzazione dell’America Latina.

@km28berlin hosts **Réplicas — Berlin**, a series of concerts and encounters extending the spirit of the International Festival of Experimental Music and Sound Art (@filec_mx ) beyond Mexico. Conceived as a platform for exchange, Réplicas connects artists working across experimental music, improvisation, and sound art in different geographies. This Berlin edition brings together local and international artists for an evening of exploratory sound practices—foregrounding dialogue, risk, and collaboration. By creating temporary meeting points, FILEC Réplicas strengthens connections between the Mexican and Berlin experimental scenes. **Program** Sarmen Almond & Carla Boregas — duo for voice and electronics Juan Duarte — solo electronics Concepción Huerta & Emilio Gordoa — duo for electronics and vibraphone **11.05.2026 — 20:00** KM28 design: Lea Grooten @__ale__gro #experimentalmusic #soundart #berlinconcert #improvisation #liveelectronics filec km28 berlinscene
