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).
Recently he produced the debut english album, For God's Sake for Thai rock star Sek Loso. In the early summer of 2006 he produced an album with Dundee band The View, to be released through Columbia Records's 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.
