Wednesday 15 April, 19:30Le Trabendo, 75019 [map]Matthew Herbert, The Invisible
Restless innovator, sampling wizard, classically trained pianist and superstar collaborator,
Matthew Herbert is one of electronic music's most versatile and prolific figureheads. Recording under his own name as well as Doctor Rockit, Wishmountain, Radio Boy and others, Herbert has also produced and remixed artists as diverse as
Björk,
REM,
John Cale,
Roisin Murphy,
Yoko Ono and
Serge Gainsbourg.
An alchemist of avant-garde sound in the tradition stretching from
Stockhausen to the
Aphex Twin, Herbert combines playful pop sensibility with a strictly imposed experimental agenda. In his increasingly conceptual and political albums he has emerged as a unique figure in modern music: a kind of one-man
Radiohead, or a
Brian Eno for the 21st century.
Supporting are the Herbert-produced band
The Invisible, a London three-piece made up of members of Jade Fox, Polar Bear, and
Gramme.
