Clamor de Terra (Cry of the Earth) is a powerful and evocative orchestral work that stands at the intersection of spectral music and programmatic expression. Composed in 2020, this 12-minute piece draws inspiration from the unsettling phenomenon known as Skyquakes—mysterious atmospheric sounds that resemble distant thunder or trumpet-like roars with no clear origin. These sounds, recorded across various parts of the world, became the sonic DNA of the piece.
The material used in Clamor de Terra is derived from actual harmonic analysis of Skyquake frequencies, transformed through spectral techniques into immersive orchestral textures. Set at a constant tempo of 60 bpm, the work evokes a slow, inexorable countdown—a metaphor for ecological urgency and the silent crisis affecting our planet.
Musically, the piece blends elements of traditional sonata form with the atmospheric resonance of spectral harmony. Layers of sound shift and collide like tectonic plates, building a narrative that is at once abstract and deeply emotional. Moments of explosive force are balanced with haunting stillness, urging the listener to confront the invisible but present “cry” of the Earth beneath our feet.
Clamor de Terra is ideal for advanced orchestras seeking a contemporary, thought-provoking addition to their repertoire. Due to its complexity and unique source material, the piece is available by request only. Please contact directly for access to the score and performance materials.
