About this episode
Michael Beinhorn co-founded the New York musical collective Material in 1979 with Bill Laswell. Since then, he has collaborated with and produced a diverse range of recording artists including The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Soundgarden, Soul Asylum, Hole, Aerosmith, Herbie Hancock, Brian Eno, Ozzy Osbourne, Marilyn Manson, Social Distortion, Korn and Mew. Michael’s combined worldwide record sales currently total over 45 million. He has received numerous Grammy nominations, including "Producer Of The Year" in 1998. He is one of the only music producers in history to have 2 separate recordings debut in the Billboard Top Ten in the same week (Marilyn Manson- Mechanical Animals- #1; Celebrity Skin- Hole- #9). In 2015, Michael wrote a book called "Unlocking Creativity", which outlines his philosophy regarding the creative process. In 2019, he started the world’s first completely remote service for music production and artist development. In this capacity, Michael has worked with artists such as Rivers Cuomo/Weezer on their last 8 recordings, as well as Cuco and Matt Nathanson. IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL LEARN: What is music production?
