Composer, DJ, performer, producer and agent provocateur, Matthew Herbert is an idiosyncratic voice in contemporary music. "Matthew Herbert makes music out of sound. Specific sounds. Simple as that seems, it is a practice that was only possibly as a result of one of the most radical and transformative inventions of the 20th century - that of magnetic tape. Once that was introduced into the field of recording, music could be sourced from the entire sonic world, recontextualised, reshaped. The possibility now existed to make anything out of anything" writes David Stubbs.

Herbert has also remixed musicians as diverse as Bjork and Mahler, has scored film, dance and theatre and is now Creative Director of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop.

Making its Australian premiere, One Pig is one of the most talked about works of contemporary music in recent years. One Pig explores music as a vehicle for us to think about what we eat and how it gets to our plate. With this in mind, Herbert tells the life story of a pig from birth through to the dinner plate through its sounds, with instruments made from the pig itself and Jesse Gerner, Head Chef of The Aylesbury Bar and Restaurant <http://theaylesbury.com.au/>  in Melbourne who will be cooking live on stage.

'In an age of such infinite and brilliant possibilities of technique, combined with the urgent politics of now, why have music and musicians lost the urge to challenge, investigate, invent and unite?' -Matthew Herbert
