Life and career edit

Warne Livesey started his career in London, England as a musician and sound engineer, working with producers like David Lord and Rhett Davies.[2] This led to early production work during London's expanding independent music scene in the early 1980s.[3] In 1986, he teamed up with Matt Johnson to work on his The The album Infected. Livesey worked closely with Johnson on the record also contributing on bass and keyboards as well as arranging for strings.[2] The album sold more than a million copies worldwide.[4] He also worked on the follow-up album Mind Bomb in 1989.[5] Following that he produced Saint Julian by Julian Cope before going to Australia to work with Midnight Oil on their album Diesel and Dust.[2] The record sold 5 million copies worldwide[6] and in 2010 was named the best Australian album of all time. The opening track, Beds Are Burning, was an international hit and is included in The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 songs that shaped Rock and Roll.[7] Livesey went on to produce five more records with the band; Blue Sky Mining, Redneck Wonderland, Capricornia, The Makarrata Project, and their last album Resist.[8]

During the 1990s he also produced: Paul Young, Jesus Jones, The Big Dish and House of Love, whose album Babe Rainbow he also co-wrote songs for.[2] He also collaborated with Talk Talk frontman Mark Hollis co-writing most of the songs on his only solo album.[9]

Relocation to Canada edit

In 1997 Livesey starting working with Canadian alternative rock artist the Matthew Good Band on their second album Underdogs. He produced the band's next two albums including Beautiful Midnight. After the band broke up in 2002 Livesey continued working with Matthew Good and to date has produced seven of his solo records, including Lights of Endangered Species[10] in 2011, Chaotic Neutral[11] in 2015, Something Like a Storm in 2017 and finally Moving Walls.

In 2019 he reunited with Midnight Oil to record their first music in 18 years. During the sessions the band recorded two projects, the first of which The Makarrata Project was released on October 30, 2020, and entered the Australian album charts at Number 1.[12] The second album Resist was released a year later also debuting at Number One.

Livesey now lives and works out of Toronto.
