In the premiere episode of Listen Again, we sit down with Martyn Ware, the visionary producer, electronic music pioneer, and founding member of The Human League and Heaven 17. Martyn’s work helped define the sound of the 1980s and continues to influence artists and audiences around the world today. From creating groundbreaking pop anthems to producing immersive 3D sound installations, his career is a testament to the power of imagination, experimentation, and collaboration.
In this episode, Martyn reflects on his early days in Sheffield’s thriving post-punk scene, his pioneering use of synthesisers, and how technology shaped a new era of music production. He shares personal stories from his time with The Human League and Heaven 17, and gives an inside look at his work as a producer for some of the biggest names in music, including his celebrated collaborations with Tina Turner, crafting her iconic hits that redefined her sound for a new generation.
We also explore Martyn’s creative partnership with Monitor Audio Group, delving into how our shared passion for audio excellence, craftsmanship, and emotion in sound has brought us together on a journey to reimagine the listening experience.
