Matthew Herbert is something special. He is a sampler, and he does not re-use any existing samples. He makes his own, wherever that might take him. He is also very politically engaged and wants to change the world through his music.
But I’m not sure if any of that matters, because, above all, he is a composer of great music. “There’s Me and There’s You” is his latest album, featuring tracks that are both very experimental, but at the same time, thoroughly enjoyable poppy tunes. I’m not going into the details, you can read a lot of interesting tidbits in the booklet and on the site. Just enjoy the music.
