Always coming back to you

Matthew Herbert has made music from the life of a pig, a bomb exploding in Libya, an orgasm, someone swimming the English channel, a tank driving over a meal made for Tony Blair, 20,000 dogs, 245 shops in a shopping centre and countless thousands of other noises. He has scored Oscar-winning films, tv shows, plays, opera and games. He has written a book called The Music which is a description of an album he’ll never make and is currently writing the follow up.
