Max and Ben Ringham had wildly clashing music tastes growing up. There were “sound wars” in their bedroom as a result. They did, however, pool their equipment – musical instruments, keyboards, samplers – which piled up high at one end of the room.
That pile turned into a mountain and then followed them into a shared London studio in their 20s when they decided to make music together. They have now been in a professional partnership of 25 years which began with composing drum’n’bass records, then making TV production music, to becoming one (or two, to be accurate) of the biggest names in sound and music composition for the stage.
