Fabric - London

Matthew Herbert is set to take over Robert-Johnson for two hours later this month.

On Wednesday 30th September, the English producer will place microphones in various spots inside and outside the club (including the toilets, we're informed) and record everything he can from 8-10pm. Every person present will be invited to make noises, and the resulting recordings will be manipulated and sequenced in a full-length entitled One Club. According to Herbert, the plan is to use no other sound sources in the final record.

Attendees will have their name taken down so that they can be listed on the sleeve, as well as receiving a free promo copy. However, Matthew has decided to respect the wishes of anyone who wants to remain anonymous. The event will also be filmed, and Herbert will play a DJ set once the recording session is finished.

This isn't the only project that Matthew is working on, however, with a "low-key collection of songs" called One One, and a record sampling the entire life of a pig—simply titled One Pig
forthcoming in the near future. comment 12 Comments

Wed, 02 Sep 2009seems interesting enough. i'd like to hear the final product, this seems extremely conceptual.

Wed, 02 Sep 2009Herbert is a wonderful producer, no doubt, but i might wonder how far to the 'conceptual' side things go before they start to sacrifice the 'musical'. If he can make elegant house music with pig noises though, hey, go for it.

Wed, 02 Sep 2009yes, he is genius, like sabotage said, and this is fresh, like wordsmith said, but only if we disregard works of hundreds of other experimentalists in the last 50 years and more.

Am I completely imagining it, or did anyone else see Matthew Herbert making a record from sounds he sampled while making toast? I think it might have been on The Culture Show on BBC2 or something





He did a collaboration with Heston Blumenthal at The Fat Duck (they're good mates) especially for the show, which was really up it's own arse. The presenter ate the meal while listening to the track that was made from sampling the cooking procedure. How cultured...
