One Pig |
Matthew Herbert’s new project One Pig is an album made exclusively from sound recordings made during a pig’s life, from birth to plate. Herbert was there, microphone in hand, as the animal was born. Continuing to visit it through its life, Herbert then documented its death, butchery and consumption, before making an album from the results. He also commissioned a series of unusual objects from the animal, including a pig skin drum, dye, paint, candelabra, and an instrument which plays the animal’s blood.
This is a remix by Micachu of the track ‘December’. Watch a short documentary made by Herbert about the album here

OM INTERVIEW: HENRYSPENNCER |
Valetin Feron is a 27 year old French muli-instumnetalist, editor and one of the founders of Bookmaker records. He’s currnely making music under the name of Henryspenncer, it’s a vast and dramatic solo project, ornate layers designed to build a landscape that echoes the wilderness.
How would you personally describe the music you make?
- I would say it’s kind of a mixture between psychedelia, folk and desertic drone, with some more heavy vibes, doom, metal, industrial. I try not to separate those genres, but to superimpose them.
You release through your own label, why is this? Is it a control issue or has the right opportunity just not arisen?
- I only realised how much Henryspenncer was important to me during the conception of the second album, To The Timeless Valley. I had sent out copies in handmade packaging to a lot of labels I like, but I only got a few friendly but still negative responses. So I decided to create a label with two longtime friends of mine, Thomas and Clément.
From the start Bookmaker Records was never meant to just be a label that could get my music properly distributed. The idea began with that, but we only decided to start that adventure because we knew that releasing through us would interest other artists. I was already in contact with Steven from The White Lodge, who now plays under the name of Sunfighter. We loved the idea of releasing an amazing demo album he sent me years ago, which he is now re-recording, and soon will be released on vinyl by Bookmaker, and I was already working on a split record with Among The Bones
