The Non-Writer • Material Interviews

Michael Beinhorn Interview 

Jan 26, 2022

multi-platinum music producer gets started in NY Gong, Zu Band, Material 

If you’re a fan of NY No Wave Downtown music circa 1980, you probably know that Michael Beinhorn was a member of the band Material. If you’re in the music biz, you probably know him as the multi-platinum music producer of hit records by Soundgarden, Marilyn Manson, Hole, Red Hot Chili Peppers, KoRn, Ozzy, with worldwide sales of more than 45 million albums, and a 1998 Grammy nomination for Producer of the Year. It was my pleasure to talk with Michael about how he got his start.

Fred Maher Interview

Feb 14, 2022

Once again it is my great pleasure to continue the interview series with Fred Maher. He started playing the drums as a kid, and was still only 14 when he met Bill Laswell and joined the newly forming Zu Band. Fred tells us how that happened, and how Zu Band would become Material.
