Damian Taylor Dot Com

I'm best known for my work with Björk (in the studio and on stage), The Prodigy, Bomba Estéreo, The Killers, Arcade Fire, UNKLE, TR/ST, Odette, The Temper Trap, Evanescence, Austra, and Dizzy, but this is just the tip of the iceberg.

I'm a deep empath who has lived and worked all over the world; what I love most about my artists is getting to understand how they see and hear the world - and how they want their art to change it.

I love creating music and art at the intersection of ideas and expression, performance and design; juxtaposing not only organic and synthetic methods of creation and manipulation but also cultural, stylistic, and emotional concepts and perspectives.

Throughout my career I have been blessed to collaborate with and learn from many brilliant minds all around the world. Countless seasons of my life have been spent deep in different niches within music production. I've developed a world class skillset ranging from the most technical to the most esoteric to the most practical.

My driving goal in every project is figuring out how to maximize my artist's natural talents and amplify their unique vision so that they walk out with a body of work they love and can't wait to share with the world. I do this by bringing only the appropriate tools from my own collection to the table, rather than forcing everyone through the same process.

I’m deeply invested in pushing the boundaries of music technology, from traditional engineering to in depth digital editing, processing and mixing through all kinds of electronic instruments all the way over to software design and development.

However this focus was developed after spending formative years learning instruments and playing in orchestras, bands, and ensembles of every size and type.

In other words, my technological inclinations are built on a foundation of understanding live performance, group dynamics, and the way a big picture is comprised of smaller, interlocking, complementary elements.

The result of all of this is that I feel equally at home making records with sequencers, samplers, and synths as I am with iconic performers and live bands.

While I do bring a tremendous depth of technical capabilities to the table, I believe my most significant assets are my empathy, my curiosity about my artists, and my ability to listen deeply and learn how they hear the world.

Regardless of whether I'm hands on with every element of a production or supporting a technically capable team, I'm adept at identifying and removing roadblocks and bottlenecks in each person's creative process, and guiding them through tangible, practical steps to deliver great records.

Finally, I am deeply passionate about sharing my knowledge and experience with up and coming artists, producers, musicians, and engineers, and helping creative souls all around the world connect, collaborate, and grow.
