Nietzsche's Daughter is the musical project of UK based musician Ian Reuben. It began in London in 1992 under the title Ubu Tantra playing psychedelic trance dance music fused with occasional real instruments - guitar and bass guitar - and sampled vocals. Ubu Tantra then became Tantra Sound System c.1994 and played live at the West London club Megatripolis in the Ambient Couldren on a few occasions c.1995 alongside the band Zuvuya - a project run by friend and musician Phil Pickering - who appeared on the bill, also featured were the ambient band Another Green World. Ian Reuben wrote music for the Parachute Set at the New Age club Whirl-Y-Gig, but the music was never used by the club's proprietors and the Tantra Sound System project was wound-up and Ian Reuben never wrote or released any more music under that title. From 1997 until 2002 nothing was produced as studying for a degree course in London took precedence but in 2003 a new project Solarwind Surfers was started however a divorce from his then wife ended this experiment and in 2005 Nietzsche's Daughter was started. Nietzsche's Daughter is currently recording new music and working with various collaborators on occasion, the musical style still retains a lot of the electronic and synthesizer elements but guitars feature much more heavily and vocals are now an important part of the music which has become much more song oriented as opposed to just instrumental dance music compositions.
