Career

Musician

Beinhorn started his professional career as a musician, playing keyboards in Bill Laswell's Material (originally the backing band for Daevid Allen's New York Gong LP, 1979) during the early 1980s. He got a chance to work with jazz musician Herbie Hancock, performing on Hancock's Future Shock album, which contained the hit single "Rockit" (like most tracks on the album, except for the title track, "Rock It" was co-written by Beinhorn and Laswell, originally for the follow-up album to Material's One Down before Hancock became involved) which quickly became a Billboard #1, and regarded as one of hip hop's seminal hits; it was the first release to contain recorded DJ scratching.

Producer

In 1998, Beinhorn received a Grammy Nomination for "Producer Of The Year" for his work on Celebrity Skin by Hole and Mechanical Animals by Marilyn Manson.

Looking for the best way to capture a broad frequency range during the recording process, Beinhorn devised the Ultra Analog Recording format. This process utilizes two inch magnetic tape, running on a custom built 8 track head stack.

Michael Beinhorn has since produced the albums of several musicians including The Blizzards, Korn, Marilyn Manson, Soundgarden, Soul Asylum, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Hole, The Verve Pipe, Raging Slab, Ozzy Osbourne, Mew, Social Distortion, The Golden Palominos, Foam and Black Label Society.

He had recently worked on the new Hole album, Nobody's Daughter, released in early 2010. In addition, he is also working on a blog, How To Save Popular Music
