Martyn Ware
BEF, Sheffield, UK
Sheffield, 1977. Martyn Ware and his friends Ian Craig Marsh and Phil Oakey start Human League. Two albums later, Ware and Craig Marsh split from Oakey and started Heaven 17. Within 24 hours they'd made their first single and can lay claim to the world's first use of the 303 on Let Me Go. Always into overarching aesthetics, Ware founded BEF aka British Electric Foundation and produced a career-rejuvenating album for Tina Turner, a series of smash singles for Terence Trent D'Arby, and their own Temptation, a record which contained 128 layered vocals in one quarter second clip. More recently, Ware's continued his fierce dedication to the future with his sound design company, Illustrious. Next? A 3D sonic re-imagining of Ancient Rome.

Oh my god! The interviewer is hopeless! She seems completely bored by the whole thing - and, at the end when he plays 'Let Me Go', it's as if she's falling asleep!
