The Profile

British electronic musician and producer Matthew Herbert (aka Herbert) is known for transforming everyday sounds into detailed house/electronic compositions, often featuring Dani Siciliano and, at times, orchestral arrangements.

Around the House (1998) was originally on Phonography and reissued by !k7 in 2001; Bodily Functions (2001) blends intelligent dance, jazz, and electronics; Scale (2006) integrates samples and chamber/orchestral colors; frequent collaborator: Dani Siciliano; he has also worked with a real orchestra (e.g., the big-band project Goodbye Swingtime).

Three DeBaser reviews praise Herbert’s smart blend of electronics, house, jazz inflections, and pop structure. Around the House spotlights domestic-sound sampling and Dani Siciliano’s voice. Bodily Functions refines the fusion with a distinctive, melodic edge. Scale pushes elegant, warm, sample-rich pop with orchestral colors.
