Here's a short Guardian film showing Matthew Herbert and the London Sinfonietta performing One Day at the Southbank Centre in London—a piece inspired by the September 25th, 2010 edition of the newspaper.
To mark the release of Matthew Herbert's contribution to the Recomposed series, long-time friend Patrick Pulsinger interviews the British maestro about absent birds, chords played out of coffins and a symphony about George Bush's farm.
"He found himself in London club, the toilet queue was miles. 'Take my hand,' she led him to the front—she had a little bag of smiles." Herbert croons a weekend narrative on "Leipzig", the smooth new single from his upcoming album, One One.
Fact delve into the back catalogue of Mr. Matthew Herbert for the latest in their producer focused series. The journey begins with his 1997 Going Round release alongside Dani Scilliano.
