Mosimann was born in Thurgau, Switzerland on 7 November 1955.[1][2] As a producer, Mosimann worked with That Petrol Emotion, the Young Gods, the The, Celtic Frost, New Order and the Hair and Skin Trading Company, and helped birth Faith No More's Album of the Year, among others. He was an early producer for Skinny Puppy's The Process (1996) and Marilyn Manson's Portrait of an American Family (1994); however, both bands were unsatisfied with the results and chose to finish those albums with other producers (Martin Atkins and Trent Reznor, respectively).
Mosimann later worked with Jojo Mayer and Miloopa (engineering and mixing the latter band's Unicode album).
Mosimann died from lung cancer at a hospital in Wrocław, on 15 September 2024, at the age of 68.[2]
