Los Gritos De La Inocentes - 2012 by Richard D. Hall

“Los Gritos de la Inocentes” (The Cries of the Innocents) is a work written for the Ear to the Earth 60x60 project. It contains manipulations of one-60 second sample of a waterfall on the San Marcos River located in central Texas. Due to the serious, heavy drought that Texas has experienced in the last several years, the river is heard crying out for rain in order to sustain its fragile ecosystem. Several species, including Texas Wild Rice and the Blind Texas Salamander are found nowhere else in the world. In 1719, the Spaniards called the river Los Inocentes.
