Sound experience from Goodison to Gloucester

The 24 locations are connected via the internet to form a "networked cortex", which will adapt, evolve and trigger site-specific sounds via Fact.

What people will be able to hear will be "fragmented" to represent the firing of neurons around the brain.

"We chose Fact because it is internationally renowned for its work with creative technology and it is a fantastic gallery, and because it is Capital of Culture we are really pleased to show it at Fact," said Liverpool-born artist Jane Grant.

"As an Evertonian, I was really hoping they would say yes as it is really interesting to have stadia as they have incredible amounts of sound.

"People will be able to engage with the Fragmented Orchestra on lots of different levels and that is what's really good about it."

The work is part of Fact's latest exhibition, Ding Dong, which can be seen until February 22, and also includes an installation soundtracked by the first new music from Mersey electro stalwarts OMD in 13 years.

The project came about after the three artists won a new music award founded by the Performing Rights Society.

Charlotte Ray, of the PFS foundation, said: "We set up the award to try and stimulate really creative and inventive new music.

"This is an extraordinary piece that makes people think and touches them in an emotional and intellectual way, outside of the normal expectations of what music is."

Everton's head of communications, Mark Rowan, said: "Football is famous for its noise, and here at Goodison Park we believe we have one of the most unique crowds in football who constantly, through their various chants and anthems, demonstrate the wide-ranging emotions of Premier League football.

"Hopefully, during the course of the Fragmented Orchestra, many others will experience the atmosphere Goodison Park has to offer and may even be tempted to experience it first hand."

OMD contribute to Energy Suite, a film examining the aesthetic nature of power stations and is a collaboration between the band, artist Peter Saville (famous for his work with Factory records) and filmmaker Hambi Haralambous.

McCluskey said: "OMD started out doing quite ambient and abstract sounds, and we have really enjoyed going back to writing."
