Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.What do Everton football club, Gloucester Cathedral and Newlyn art gallery in Cornwall all have in common? Well, from 11 December until February next year, they're becoming part of a huge new musical structure, the award-winning Fragmented Orchestra, which will involve 24 networked sites across the UK, each producing a constantly changing instrumental sound, which in turn changes the composition.
Mirroring the workings of the brain and the way it processes sound, the sites will be connected via the internet to the Foundation for Art and Creative Technology gallery in Liverpool, to form a network. At the sites, which were chosen by the artist Jane Grant, the musician and physicist John Matthias and the composer and sound designer Nick Ryan, visitors can create their own site-specific sounds and listen to how they affect the overall score. Whether you're in the National Portrait Gallery or on Brighton seafront, here's your chance to let your musical talent shine. www.thefragmentedorchestra.com
