Bones....
Wind....
Caves....
A simpler time
When we apes first tooted.. the fluuuute
Yes it’s wild how far we’ve come and Matthew Herbert and I go back a bit too .. I mean not to the flute tooting era but we go back.
He speaks during this chat of his achievements as an evolved ape and many had me gasping !
He tells of multiple slippers that he can slide into to tap different sonic personas.
The making of 1000 pieces of music a year!
The upkeep of his musical organ filled with pigs blood.
Yes
The stories are wild in this one so
Strap in!
Did I mention we go way back?
Yes !
I was lucky enough to collaborate with him on a few notable pieces of music.
1) He played on the second super_collider LP raw digits on a track called gravity rearranging
2) I was a singer on his album Goodbye Swingtime and joined him and the bigband at the Hollywood Bowl opening for Bjork in 2003 alongside Bonnie Prince Billy.
Hollywood bowl bigband? I mean come on!!
3) He joined me alongside Arto Lindsay, performing the most monumental show of my career at Sonar 2003.
That show was the real unveiling of all my efforts in the lab to make an impov looping performance with max/msp. Something I’d dreamt of for years and finally made real.
It was so fitting to have him and Arto come on for the final number and make a total racket with me.
We just all clattered it to the ground. A moment I’ll never forget and it was all down to Matthew really as it was watching him show using multiple boss echos in short looping mode that got me started on that road.
A brilliant and restless musical mind that has always moved in his own lane.
It’s a treat to welcome onto the show
