Eccentric UK producer Matthew Herbert refuses to sample other musicians in his work, choosing instead to use only sounds he creates or records himself. He’s found inspiration (and source material) from the sounds of his own body and through the process of printing a newspaper (The Guardian, to be exact). But lately, his very untraditional methods of music-making have become most apparent through his One trilogy.One One found Herbert singing for the first time, the tracks chronicling a single day in the musician’s life. The second part, One Club, was produced by setting up microphones and sampling all sorts of “found” sounds in a night club on a single night—from glasses clinking to bathroom gossip.The third and most controversial part, One Pig, has been held up in production for some time now. The idea was to record an entire life of a pig, from its birth and life as a young piglet to its eminent death in a slaughterhouse. Even though Herbert had all good (and humane) intentions, PETA obviously had some beef with the record, which you can read more about here.Though British law prohibited him from recording the pig’s death, Herbert managed to capture the sounds of its butchery, cooking, consumption, and its translation into a bounty of products including candles, a drum, paint, dye… and even a musical instrument—the Pog Sty Harp—which Herbert will use onstage in a live performance and tribute, giving light to seemingly insignificant animals everywhere.Above, Herbert discusses the record and each track in detail. One Pig is out on Accidental Records October 10th. Pre-order at iTunes.
