enLOOP: an audiovisual performance by FARO Studio & Isaac Soto. An exploration of the interplay between time and space, expressed through layered compositions of light and sound. The piece centers around the concept of the loop — an infinite cycle — brought to life through evolving, repetitive sequences that build a fragmented sense of motion. Through constant repetition, light takes on sculptural form, shifting gradually from warm hues to cooler tones, while sound expands, creating a continuous cycle. enLOOP plays with the perception of time, creating an experience in which repeated patterns manifest in different states. Commissioned by Combo Especial for its 4th edition, CDMX, 2025.

Since we started LADRIDOS, the idea has always been to be able to discuss and understand differences. “Being from here” also means being from here and there; it means being able to respond from art, politics, philosophy, biology, social communication, journalism, and a long etcetera. However, one thing unites us: sound. Musicians, sound artists, radio broadcasters, and various projects related to this materiality have been invited to find a common thread from which to branch out and expand the vibrations that propagate in acoustic waves. The medium of transmission has been imagination, the possibility of creating a possible world where music can be an experience that changes the way we understand politics, friendship, and our own lives.
After receiving more than 400 proposals in response to our initial call, we selected a distinguished group of nearly 50 sound artists, musicians, and visionaries from different parts of the Americas. In August 2022, we established a Discord channel with the aim of fostering the exchange of ideas and sounds, which culminated in a dialogue focused on the creation of a collective musical compilation. Through numerous Zoom meetings, we jointly discussed options for this compilation. Ultimately, we opted to sonically address the question: "What does it mean to be from here?" This interpretation materialized in pieces developed by seven collectives, where each group addressed a specific segment of the question: "What does it mean to be from here?"
Each track is a work that seeks to bring together sounds, processes, agreements, reconciliations, and singularities of each member and, in doing so, offer a notion of a possible answer to the general question. Through sound, they managed to construct a possible geography of "here," in an exercise of connection, of contaminating and being contaminated, of engaging in dialogues, sounds, silences, moments of intersection and distance. The "here" was transformed into a mobile, strange, mutating body, one that assembled and disassembled itself, that allowed for multiple entrances and exits, that did not follow lines of hierarchical subordination; a body or territory, in short, without any kind of center. Welcome to its listening.

B95-11 is an audiovisual piece that explores the community of bacteria that inhabits the skin of the mountain axolotl and protects it from pathogenic fungal infections. In this collaborative piece, science and art intertwine to reveal the strange beauty of these microorganisms that live in symbiosis with the axolotl's skin, underscoring the idea that they are much more than simple pathogens.
The visuals were created by Cirrina Lab, which used various microscopes to observe and film these bacteria, while the data visualization was led by artist Z (Anahy Cabrera). The music was composed by Isaac Soto, Opuntia, and Concepción Huerta, who incorporated vocals, electronic instruments, and field recordings from the Genomic Microbiology building of the Center for Genomic Sciences at UNAM.
