Ian O’Brien is originally a British musicologist who was heavily influenced by the Detroit techno sound, particularly underground resistance.
This sound inspired him to start producing his own music.
This ‘Mad Mike Disease’ passion led him to produce tracks first with Asad Rizvi under the Memory Tree moniker, and then solo for various UK techno labels.
1997年リリースの「Ian O’Brien - Desert Scores」は、代表作とされ、Galaxy 2 Galaxy EPで開拓されたようなテックジャズの一環として今でも見なされています。
