Edmund "Ed" Buller (born 9 August 1962) is an English record producer and former musician. He has primarily worked with English bands like Suede, Pulp, The Raincoats and The Courteeners.
Biography
Buller first became interested in music after his father, composer John Buller, took him to see Stravinsky's ballet, The Rite of Spring, at the age of 6. As a teenager, he joined the Psychedelic Furs as a keyboard player and toured with them for several years. After leaving the band, he took up record production, moving his way up through London studios and eventually became the in-house engineer for Island Records. Buller's first successful album that he produced was Suede's debut album in 1993 which peaked #1 on the UK albums chart as well winning the Mercury Prize award. During career he achieved two other number one albums (Suede's Coming Up and White Lies's To Lose My Life...) and a Brit awards nomination for best producer. In 1995, he worked with Flood, Gary Stout and Dave Bessell on Node; an analog-synth heavy project that produced a single album, Node (a follow-up was released in 2014: Node 2).
In 1998, Ed moved to California and studied composition and orchestration at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music. He currently lives in London, England. He has recently worked with British bands White Lies, The Courteeners, The Cheek and One Night Only, recording in Brussels, as well as Suede's comeback album Bloodsports in March 2013, and their seventh album Night Thoughts in January 2016.
