Owen Morris is a music producer who has worked with rock bands such as Oasis and The Verve.
He started working in the music industry as a sound engineer at Spaceward Studio in Cambridge when he was 16. He continued as an engineer until 1994 when he started producing some work for Oasis at the end of the Definitely Maybe sessions. He continued working with Oasis for their subsequent two albums (What's the Story) Morning Glory? (1995) and Be Here Now (1997).
He also produced The Verve album A Northern Soul (1995), Ash's 1977 (1996), The Fratellis EP (2006) and the debut UK album, For God's Sake for Thai rock star Sek Loso. In the early summer of 2006 he produced Hats Off to the Buskers, the debut album of Dundee band The View, released 22 January 2007 through Columbia Records 1965 Records label.[1]
He is famed for pioneering an engineering technique called "Brick Walling" on Definitely Maybe. This involves turning all the instruments on the album up to full volume, making the songs especially loud. The effect made Definitely Maybe louder than other albums at the time.
