Matthew Herbert


Musician Matthew Herbert discusses his concert at the RFH in which all the music is based on one newspaper. He explains why he chose the Guardian over the Times and how he wants the concert to highlight conflicting messages within the same paper. He also considers how we think of sound as generic compared to specific visual records. Jarvis marks the NME printing the first regular singles chart this day in 1952, and the first BBC radio broadcast. Cordelia Cembrowicz gives her eyewitness account of the recent student protests. Sadly, no-one answers the Are They Any Good question of Yanni. Birthdays: Cornell Gunter, John Henry Barbee, Wendy Carlos (talking about synthesisers), Brendan Benson, Prince Charles, Big Daddy (talking about his real name, Shirley) and Gunter Sachs. Valete: Michel Colombier.
