Matthew Herbert - Movers and the Shakers



Track from Herbert's 2006 album Scale. Free download here. His most pop friendly album combines jazz, disco, house and big ballad as well as a whole bag of electronic tricks. For this album the nutjob sampled the sound of 723 objects including a fighter jet, petrol pumps and a coke can.

Herbert - Movers and the shakers


One of his forthcoming albums "One Pig" will be a concept piece made up entirely from sounds produced during the life cycle of a pig.

"rather frustratingly, and despite many phone calls we have found it impossible to find an abattoir to allow us to record the death of the pig. we found one farmer willing to let us record, but then the attending vet did not allow it. "

He blogs all about it here.

The pig was eaten on 17th august 2010.
