RE: (313) Help Matthew Herbert
I can't remember what it was for as he has already recorded an 'apple track' for Plat Du Jour and this is what is on the track as mentioned on the Plat Du Jour Site: AN APPLE A DAY... the sounds of around 3255 people eating an apple. 65 individual people eating an apple on apple day 2004 crunchers at sonar festival, barcelona, babylon, istanbul for two nights, in montreal, the pompidou centre in paris, and in london at the queen elizabeth hall. all apples were local varieties, in season ( apart from montreal where they were from cold storage) and organic. the uk has over 2000 varieties of apple, but supermarkets prefer to import theirs from america, south africa and new zealand. http://www.platdujour.co.uk/ -Original Message- From: /0 [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 17 November 2005 18:50 To: Robert Taylor Cc: Anya K Stang; 313 Subject: RE: (313) Help Matthew Herbert I certainly hope he uses more than just these sounds, it would suck to make a track limited to ~8k of midrange freq -Joe Robert Taylor [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: He recorded us crunching apples at his last show - nice apples too! -Original Message- From: Anya K Stang [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 16 November 2005 20:09 To: 313 Subject: Re: (313) Help Matthew Herbert Didn't he do something similar for Bodily Functions?

Your task, should you choose to accept it, is to call this number and leave a message consisting of a single sound. It could be organic, vocal, mechanical, natural – even bodily. Remember you’re dealing with a man who has created music from the recording of coffee cups and sewer systems, so the more original the better. These sounds will be collected on the answering machine and past on to the grand, musical conductor himself, who will fuse the sounds together to create a grand musical cacophony that only he knows will sound like. To add extra intrigue to this task you must under no circumstances state, or give any indication as to what the sound is.

RE: (313) Help Matthew Herbert
I think he's a bit of an apple freak. There's a track on one of the Doctor Rockit albums on Clear that was a loop of apple crunches.
