About

Ollie Jngbert Christian Olsen (born Ian Christopher Olsen, 20 February 1958 – 16 October 2024) was an Australian multi-instrumentalist, composer, sound designer and pioneer of electronic music in the Southern Hemisphere. From the mid-1970s until his later years, he performed, recorded and produced electronic, rock and experimental music. His post-punk groups included Whirlywirld (1978–80), Orchestra of Skin and Bone (1984–86) and No (1987–89). Olsen joined with Michael Hutchence (of INXS) to form a short-term band, Max Q, which issued an album in 1989. He co-founded the alternative electronic music record label Psy-Harmonics with Bruce Butler in 1993, and later continued with Andrew Till. In 2014 he formed Taipan Tiger Girls.
