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.The music of Salvatore Sciarrino dispenses with nearly all the conventions of Western classical form, yet somehow retains a purposive momentum. These are sound events, rather than musical pieces, a form of expressionistic sonic grammar with definite narrative but little definable melody – instead, the instruments create a sort of aural mise en scène in which the vocal exists.
The notion of a “sound garden” in “L'altro giardino” is apt enough for this 18th-century Sicilian song, deconstructed into individual, repeated phrases against a backdrop of curious sonic blooms, while “Il cantiere del poema” employs similarly abstract methods to create a wasteland of keening tones.
