about

PSYD011

Ollie Olsen has produced much innovative music in Australia for the past 45 years. Starting off when he studied electronic music mid-70s under Felix Werder, a German composer living in Australia who had studied under Karlheinz Stockhausen. Ollie was an integral part of the Melbourne post punk little band scene with Reals, Young Charlatans (w Rowland S Howard) through to WhirlyWirld in 1978, who with their stated priority from the outset, to go electronic, determined as they were to take flight from the sonic limitations of the conventional, guitar-based rock format. A pioneer of synthesizer punk, the band came across with something of the experimentation of Suicide, Throbbing Gristle or Cabaret Voltaire, and also with the more song-oriented sound of Joy Division. From there he formed Hugo Klang, Orchestra of Skin & Bone, through to the Electronic trash of ‘No’ in the late eighties. Next up was a collaboration with Michael Hutchence with the band Max Q , followed by Ollie riding the first wave of techno movement in Melbourne with Third Eye (Eye Q, Nova Zembla, Restless) and establishing Psy-Harmonics (w/ Andrew Till) in ’93 as a record label which also became a platform for him to release a plethora of music under many guises including the first virtual techno group ‘Shaolin Wooden Men’. During the 2000 period Ollie continued re-writing the template of electronic music and changing the course of experimentation with his works right up until 2022 when he was diagnosed by MSA (Multiple System Atrophy), a degenerative and terminal neurological condition.

Psy-Harmonics will continue to delve deep into his vast back catalogue, releasing a series of previously unavailable material and deleted titles to celebrate Ollie's amazing music career and making it available to a larger audience.
