A music project designed to mirror the way our brains work has been named winner of the New Music Award and its £50,000 prize money.
The Fragmented Orchestra’s idea uses recording units set up at 24 sites across the UK to capture their sounds.
The sounds will be transmitted back to the Foundation for Art & Creative Technology (FACT) in Liverpool for visitors to hear.
The different locations will include a football stadium, cathedral and farm.
