In 2010 Matthew Herbert (composer of jazz & electronic music) will release a record entitled ‘The Pig’. It will be made up entirely of sounds made during the life cycle of a pig.
In his first pig-related blog Matthew writes: “I will be there at its birth, during its life, present at its death and during the butchery process. Its body will then be given to chefs new and old, there will be a feast, it will all be recorded and then turned in to music.
Meanwhile I await a call from Monkshill Farm in Kent to let me know that my pig is on its way. I will rush there with a camera and a tape recorder”.
