Ian O'Brien

Originally a UK music scholar, O'Brien was deeply influenced by the Detroit techno sound of the likes of Memory Tree moniker and then on a solo basis for a variety of UK Techno imprints.
1997's Galaxy 2 Galaxy EP.
Two more albums for UK Peacefrog records followed, and in 2013 two new albums 'I was there' and 'Understanding Is Everything' were released on Japan's Ultravybe records and Ian's own label Ian o'Brien Productions. In stark contrast to his earlier work, 'Understanding Is Everything' relies almost totally on live performances and improvisations, with Ian playing keyboards, synths, guitar, bass and percussion as well as contributions from guest artists.
He lives in Tokyo, Japan.
