About Matthew Herbert Big Band
The British DJ, producer and sound artist Matthew Herbert has
made it his mission to find "original" sounds for his music,
preferably created on the spot, on stage. Herbert is known for his
unexpected acts like breaking CDs or using shards of glass. On the
dance scene (jazz house, electro, techno) he is known under his own
name, but also as Doctor Rockit, Radioboy, Whishmountain and
Herbert. He works according to a manifesto he wrote himself that
forbids the sampling of other musicians' sounds, for instance.
Herbert's work often engages politics: for example, with the
project Plat du Jour he attacked the modern food industry. In 2003
he surprised the scene with Goodbye Swingtime, a jazz big band CD
with electronics. He is currently working on a new big band CD
There's Me and There's You, an album that is due for release in the
coming fall.
