Matthew Herbert releases part one of trilogy
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 13 April 2010
Matthew Herbert this week releases the first part of his ‘One Trilogy’ via his own label, Accidental Records, with parts two and three to follow later this year.
Entitled ‘One One’, the album was created using over 2000 samples created by around 350 people and documents a single day in history in various cities around the world. It also sees Herbert singing for the first time on record, of which he says: “Singing for the record was surprisingly difficult. There was no one there to tell me if I was terrible, and if I was terrible I had to fix it myself. I couldn’t hide behind nifty production tricks. At times it took dressing in a black tuxedo and half a bottle of wine to get over the nerves”.
Part two of the trilogy, ‘One Club’, was created using samples recorded at the Robert Johnson club in Frankfurt, Germany in a two hour period on 30 Sep last year. The final part, ‘One Pig’, as previously reported, documents the life of a pig from birth to death and beyond, and is made up entirely of recordings made of the various stages of the pig’s existence.
