Piece Description
"Moorland" - ever heard of that place? It's the infamous neighborhood, just outside our city's limits, where Alma and Mariela live. Who are these young ladies? They're the twelve-year-olds you'll be following around for an afternoon's worth of sounds in their neighborhood, from the ice cream man's jingles on the street a teen was recently murdered, to the freeway's white noise that never goes away. Jeremy Hay, intrepid adult reporter, plus Crystal and Carolina, 7 and 8 years old, are also along for the ride.
