Concepción Huerta is a multidisciplinary artist with a strong background in audiovisual media and a deep focus on the sound spectrum. Her work is developed in different practices such as: sound design, video installations, spatialized concerts, speculative narratives and immersive experiences.
Her approach to sound begins by reflecting on the relationship between silence-noise, political space, and the sound agent as a means of enunciation. She also investigates resonance, acoustic space and the physical and psychological impact of sound in relation to the listener.
Her sound exploration is through recordings of everyday objects (foleys) and instruments such as synthesizers, which when played and manipulated with tape recorders and processed tapes, create atmospheres based on elements of ambient and noise. She creates sound narratives, which rather than being inserted into a specific musical genre, are closer to the construction of an imagined story.
Incorporating the study of synthesis, electricity, voltage, formats and materiality as part of their approach to sound.
She is a member of the experimental ensemble Amor Muere alongside Gibrana Cervantes, Camille Mandoki, and Mabe Fratti, with whom he has collaborated on several releases.
