experimental music fail to do: open our ears to new sonic possibilities
and, more importantly, force us to reconsider and rewire some of our

Oneohtrix Point Never is Daniel Lopatin, a US native whose work has
brought him to the forefront of the modern electronic composition
scene. Although Lopatin’s rise seemed meteoric following the praise for
his double disc anthology “Rifts” (coveted by the likes of Wire,
Pitchfork, Fader, Guardian UK, The Quietus, and XLR8R), it is the
result of a love affair with polyphonic synthesizers dating back to
childhood jam sessions with his father’s Juno 60; an instrument which,
like B.B. King’s Lucille, he has never left behind. Audiences in the
last year have gravitated to OPN’s profound arrangements, which manage
to touch upon both mainstream and discarded electronic music histories;
merging the structural freedom of noise with the abstract emotionality
of work considered by many to be ‘background music’; in fact his
passion to find personal meaning in failed new age utopias and liminal
science fiction environments often brings his compositions to the
refracted brinks of minimalism, drone, proto-techno, noise and pop;
clarifying the past through a blissful repetition of its’ sonic
signifiers. The sound of OPN is history filtered through modern process
with an emphasis on structure and a humanness that resounds in its
melodies; if one can communicate efficiently within the realm of
electronic music, OPN reveals itself as a project with a zeal for
expression, an emotive blinking light on the cold horizon.
