Concepción Huerta works where sound becomes physical. The Mexico City and Berlin-based artist has announced her new album ‘No Queda Nada, Todo Resuena’, arriving July 3 via Signal Noise, and shared the complete B-side, “Todo Resuena,” as a first listen. Listen here.
The album consists of 2 side-long tracks built around a Buchla 200 system, magnetic tape, and 4-track cassette processes. Huerta draws directly from British composer Daphne Oram’s writing, specifically the idea that recorded sound functions as a form of written memory. Each pass through tape alters information. Each bounce reveals something shifting and unstable.
“Electricity printed onto magnetic tape,” Huerta explains. “It’s like photographic memory: materiality, light, and frequencies impregnated in the material. Memory as a signal that occurred in time.” That framework shapes everything on this record.
The album emerged from a residency at Elektronmusicstudion in Stockholm, where Huerta accessed a room of rare antique gear while studying sonology in The Hague. She altered patches with voltage and feedback, pushing the equipment into producing drifts, ghosts, and galactic variations from oscillation. “Multitrack machines function here as extensions of the body and time,” she says. “They are not neutral tools, but surfaces of friction where the signal wears away, duplicates itself, deviates.”
“Todo Resuena” is kinetic, whirring, and unmistakably alive. It captures Huerta at her most focused, turning tape processes into something genuinely visceral and transporting.
For more than a decade, the Guanajuato-born photographer and sound artist has worked at the intersection of the physical and the auditory. Her collaborators include Estrelle del Sol of Mint Field, Jiyoung Wi, Daniela Huerta, Eve Matin, and cellist Mabe Fratti, across multiple projects.
Pitchfork called her work “narrative-driven ambient and experimental music executed with grace and care,” and Bandcamp praised her “refined ability to create vast, chasmic sonic landscapes.” ‘No Queda Nada, Todo Resuena’ is her first full-length for Signal Noise, and it carries that weight.
Huerta is currently mid-way through a European tour. The run wraps May 23 at Cafe OTO in London alongside Mexico-born, New York-based electronic producer and DJ Debit. The album is available for preorder now.
