Beinhorn in his Material days

From his early days as keyboardist and co-founder of the seminal New York band Material, and his work with Bill Laswell on Herbie Hancock's groundbreaking Future Shock album, Michael Beinhorn has gone on to produce career-breakthrough recordings for artists like Soundgarden (their acclaimed "Black Hole Sun"), Korn, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Marilyn Manson, Fuel (their Beinhorn-produced Natural Selection garnered him a 2004 Grammy nomination), Ozzy Osbourne and Hole.

Incidentally, he also writes one of the most well-articulated and original blogs on music and the music industry around. Here are some of our favorites:

A Primer on Feel
Producers, Collaboration, The Inner Voice And Creative Facilitation
The Truth Hurts & Vanity Kills
