#286 - Interview: Michael Beinhorn, Producer behind Soundgarden, Ozzy Osbourne, Marilyn Manson, and more

Published: Jan. 31, 2019, 6:57 p.m.
Duration: 48 minutes 29 seconds

Michael Beinhorn has lived his life in the pursuit of artistic expression, first as a visual artist, then as a performer, and finally as a record producer.

Forgoing a promising career in medical illustration, Beinhorn began his musical endeavors in 1979 as co-founder of the seminal New York musical collective Material. The group\\u2019s singular style and strong artistic personalities led to their producing their own recordings out of necessity. As the band rose to prominence, in 1980 they were approached by Brian Eno, collaborating on the track\\xa0\\u201cLizard Point\\u201d\\xa0from Eno\\u2019s acclaimed recording\\xa0\\u201cAmbient 4: On Land.\\u201d

In 1983, Beinhorn co-produced Herbie Hancock\\u2019s landmark recording, Future Shock, which included the groundbreaking cut\\xa0\\u201cRockit.\\u201d\\xa0The song, co-written and co-produced by Beinhorn, would become Columbia Records\\u2019 most successful 12-inch single ever, selling over three million copies and winning a Grammy in 1984 for Best R&B Instrumental Recording.

After departing Material in 1984, Beinhorn\\u2019s production career began to reach new heights. His work on the Red Hot Chili Peppers\\u2019 breakthrough albums\\xa0\\u201cThe Uplift Mofo Party Plan\\u201d\\xa0and\\xa0\\u201cMother\\u2019s Milk\\u201d\\xa0was instrumental in propelling the band to stardom.

Beinhorn gained a reputation for producing a number of \\u201chigh watermark\\u201d albums that have helped to define the careers of a diverse range of artists, including Soul Asylum, Hole, Soundgarden, Ozzy Osbourne, Courtney Love, Marilyn Manson, Social Distortion, Korn, Golden Palominos, and Mew. His recordings have achieved combined worldwide sales of more than 45 million albums, and he is one of only a handful of producers to have two separate recordings debut in Billboard\\u2019s Top Ten in the same week, with Marilyn Manson\\u2019s\\xa0\\u201cMechanical Animals\\u201d\\xa0(#1) and Hole\\u2019s\\xa0\\u201cCelebrity Skin\\u201d\\xa0(#9) also earning him a 1998 Grammy nomination for Producer of the Year.

In addition to producing, arranging, engineering, co-writing, and performing on many of his projects, Beinhorn\\u2019s attention to detail and tireless pursuit of sonic excellence led him to develop and commission the first two-inch eight-track Ultra-Analog multitrack tape recording format.

In recent years, Beinhorn has turned his attention to the concerns facing today\\u2019s artists and producers attempting to maintain their creative ethics and focus on the recording process.
