about

Matthew Herbert makes his debut on Foom with The Recording–an EP written, produced and recorded in one week in Berlin in front of (and with the participation of) a live audience. Opener "Day Three" is one of Matthew Herbert's most exuberant dancefloor tracks in a while, its rhythms awash with mischief and urgency. "Day Five"' is all intricate, shuffling high-end, booming toms, reverb and piano, while the throbs, murmurs and restless percussion of "Day Seven" bring the EP to a close. Created from start to finish during a week-long residency at the Tischlerei Deutsche Oper, all the sounds used were recorded during the course of the residency.
