Gerald, He performed this in London a few months back to solid reviews. IIRC, you can find them by searching the LD archives.
On this note, the new Herbert-produced Roisin Murphy 'sequins' eps 1 and 2 sound great to my ears! Looking forward to pt 3.

A completely original sonic and visual experience which shines the spotlight on our peculiar relationship with food, PLAT DU JOUR is the product of almost three years of dedicated research. Moreover, it showcases the artist's mature interpretation of the questionable nutritional habits that have become embedded in our everyday dietary lifestyles. Reflecting his true orchestral interests as an artist, Herbert enlists a supporting cast of musicians as well as a chef to aid in his dynamic quest to break the mold of uninspired, generic cuisine. Through his exploration of the various sounds provoked by a menu of edible fare and sonically juggling their live samples, Herbert tactfully denounces abuses within the food industry and the practice of genetic modification with emphasis on the negative consumption habits evident among today's consumers. The audience will witness a veritable culinary creation-complete with a symphony of aromas to match! To round out the evening's menu, Montreal duo EGG will offer us SCRAMBLED EGG - a performance specially conceived for the occasion. EGG intends to implement a new formula by exposing their exquisite creations to a series of guest instrumentalists and electronic musicians: NICOLAS BOUCHER (keyboards, sampler), JOSEPH MARCHAND (guitars), PATRICK WATSON (voice), STEVE BEAUPRE (laptop) and DAVID FAFARD (laptop).
