Music from other spheres, that’s the eternal promise of cosmically inspired ambient music and it is once again filtered through the equipment park of Concepción Huerta on her »Harmonies from Betelqeuse.« The eight pieces on her debut for Umor Rex distil stardust into up-and-down surging sound textures, make gravitational waves oscillate and black holes freeze. If Thomas Köner were to visit the ISS, he would probably come back with comparable sounds. The highlight of this album, however, is that the Mexican didn’t even have to leave her home base for it. Why travel through outer space when the home studio offers such possibilities?
