Grammy Award-winning producer and engineer Robert Margouleff has worked with music legends such as the Isley Brothers, Jeff Beck and Depeche Mode. In his new memoir “Shaping Sounds: Stevie Wonder, DEVO, The Synth Revolution, And My Life Behind The Music,” the author shares stories about working with these stars. It wasn’t his intent at the time, but his work helped create an eclectic musical time capsule.
“There were plenty of stories and when I recalled one, it led me to others that had not crossed my mind,” Margouleff, 85, said from his Hollywood home. “Like mixing Robin Trower’s album for Crescendo Records back in the day. Trower was an in introspective man. [We were at] Malibu Beach on a weekday. We walked several miles with our feet wet in the surf end [section]. We talked about our work in the studio and music.”
