Daniel Lopatin (born July 25, 1982), best known as Oneohtrix Point Never or OPN, is an American experimental electronic music producer, composer, singer, and songwriter.^[2]^[9] His music has utilized tropes from various musical genres and eras, sample-based composition, and complex MIDI production.^[10]

Lopatin began releasing primarily synthesizer-led music in the 2000s, and received acclaim for the 2009 compilation Rifts as well as the influential vaporwave side-project Chuck Person's Eccojams Vol. 1 (2010). He subsequently signed with Warp in 2013, and has since released studio albums on the label to positive critical reception. He has also composed scores for films such as Good Time (2017) and Uncut Gems (2019); the former won him the Soundtrack Award at the 2017 Cannes Film Festival.^[11]

Early life

Lopatin was born and raised in Massachusetts,^[12] and is the son of Russian-Jewish^[13] "refusenik" emigrants from the Soviet Union, both with musical backgrounds.^[14] Some of his first experiments with electronic music were inspired by his father's music collection^[2] and his Roland Juno-60 synthesizer, an instrument that Lopatin would inherit and go on to use extensively in his own music.^[15] In high school, Lopatin played synthesizer in groups with friends and future collaborator Joel Ford, performing at school events.^[16] Lopatin attended Hampshire College in Massachusetts^[12] before moving to Brooklyn, New York to attend grad school at Pratt Institute, studying archival science; the field of study would go on to influence aspects of his music and artistic practice.^[17] During that time, he also became interested and involved in Brooklyn's underground noise music scene.^[18]

Career

2007–2012: Early career, Rifts, Returnal and Replica

Lopatin initially released music under a number of aliases and as part of several groups, including Infinity Window and Astronaut,^[19]^[2] before adopting the pseudonym Oneohtrix Point Never, a verbal play on the name of the Boston FM radio station Magic 106.7.^[20] Early OPN recordings are regarded as drawing inspiration from 1970s and 80s arpeggiated synthesizer music, new-age music tropes, and contemporary developments in noise music.^[21] Lopatin released a series of cassette and CD-R projects interspersed with a trilogy of full-length albums: Betrayed in the Octagon (2007), Zones Without People (2009), and Russian Mind (2009). Much of this material was eventually collected on the 2009 compilation Rifts, which brought him critical acclaim;^[22] it was named the second-best album of 2009 by UK magazine The Wire.^[18] The same year, Lopatin released the audio-visual DVD project^[23] Memory Vague,^[24] which included his profile-raising YouTube video "nobody here", an "eccojam".^[25] His work during this period would be associated with the late 2000s underground hypnagogic pop trend.^[26]

In June 2010, Lopatin followed Rifts with his major label debut Returnal, released on Editions Mego.^[27] In the same year, he released the influential limited-edition pseudonymous cassette Chuck Person's Eccojams Vol. 1, which would help inspire the 2010s Internet-based genre vaporwave,^[5]^[28]^[29] and he formed the duo Games (later renamed Ford & Lopatin) with childhood friend Joel Ford. Lopatin's next album, Replica, was released in 2011 on his newly formed label Software Recording, to further critical praise.^[30] On it, Lopatin developed a sample-based approach that drew on the audio of 1980s and '90s television advertisements.^[30] Also that year, Lopatin participated in the collaborative album FRKWYS Vol. 7 with musicians David Borden, James Ferraro, Samuel Godin and Laurel Halo as part of RVNG's label series;^[31] Ford & Lopatin released Channel Pressure, and OPN was chosen to perform at the All Tomorrow's Parties festival.^[32] Lopatin and visual artist Nate Boyce collaborated on the 2011 Reliquary House performance installation; the music from this project would later be released on the split OPN/Rene Hell album Music for Reliquary House / In 1980 I Was a Blue Square (2012).^[33] In 2012, Lopatin collaborated with Tim Hecker on the album Instrumental Tourist.^[34]

2013–2016: Signing with Warp, R Plus Seven and Garden of Delete

In 2013, Lopatin signed with Warp Records. His label debut, R Plus Seven, was released on September 30, 2013, to positive reception.^[35] Lopatin collaborated with several artists on visual accompaniments, live performances, and internet projects for the album, among them his frequent collaborator Nate Boyce; Jon Rafman; Takeshi Murata; Jacob Ciocci, and John Michael Boling. Also in 2013, Lopatin composed his first film score—for Sofia Coppola's film The Bling Ring, a collaboration with Brian Reitzell^[36]—and OPN participated in the Warp x Tate event and was commissioned to create a piece inspired by Jeremy Deller's The History of the World.^[37]

In 2014, Lopatin supported Nine Inch Nails on their tour with Soundgarden, as a replacement for Death Grips.^[38] On October 4, 2014, he presented a world premiere live soundtrack for Koji Morimoto's 1995 anime film Magnetic Rose. The event took place at the Jodrell Bank Centre for Astrophysics, and featured Anohni on a rendition of the OPN song "Returnal" as well as audio-visual works from Nate Boyce which have been hosted by the Barbican Centre in London, the Museum of Modern Art and MoMA PS1.^[39] In the same year, OPN released Commissions I for Record Store Day, featuring several commissioned pieces.^[40] He also contributed "Need" to the Bleep:10 compilation in celebration of the online retailer's 10th anniversary.^[41] This was followed by Commissions II in 2015.^[42]

Lopatin released his second Warp LP Garden of Delete in November 2015^[43] following an enigmatic promotional campaign.^[44]^[45] He also composed the score for the 2015 film Partisan, directed by Ariel Kleiman.^[36] In 2016, Lopatin contributed to British singer Anohni's 2016 album Hopelessness and 2017 EP Paradise^[46] as well as Chicago footwork producer DJ Earl's 2016 album Open Your Eyes.^[47] In Fall 2016, UCLA's Hammer Museum hosted the film series Ecco: The Videos of Oneohtrix Point Never and Related Works, dedicated to the visual work of Lopatin and his collaborators.^[48]

2017–present: Age Of, Magic Oneohtrix Point Never and Again

In January 2017, a collaboration between OPN and FKA Twigs was confirmed.^[49] In 2017, OPN provided the soundtrack for the film Good Time, directed by Ben & Josh Safdie.^[50] He won the Soundtrack Award at the 2017 Cannes Film Festival for his work on the film,^[11] which included a collaboration with singer Iggy Pop entitled "The Pure and the Damned".^[50] The film's soundtrack was released via Warp on August 11, 2017.^[51]

In June 2018, Lopatin released his eighth studio album Age Of on Warp.^[52] The album was accompanied by Myriad, an expansive conceptual live project dubbed a "concertscape" and "four-part epochal song cycle" and featuring collaborations with live musicians and the visual artists Daniel Swan, David Rudnick, and Nate Boyce; the project was premiered at the Park Avenue Armory in May 2018.^[53] Also in 2018, OPN collaborated with David Byrne on his LP American Utopia.^[54] In 2019, he composed the original score to the Safdie Brothers' 2019 feature film Uncut Gems.^[55]

In 2020, he collaborated with the Weeknd on the album After Hours, producing two and writing three of its songs. On September 25, he announced the release of his ninth album, titled Magic Oneohtrix Point Never, which was released on October 30, 2020, and accompanied by music videos and online mixtapes. Lopatin was the musical director for the Weeknd's band during the Super Bowl LV halftime show in February 2021.^[56] He again collaborated with The Weeknd on the album Dawn FM, released in January 2022, on which he wrote and produced 13 songs, as well as serving as executive producer alongside the Weeknd and Max Martin.^[57]

In August 2023, he announced his tenth studio album, Again, which was released on September 29.^[58] Also in 2023, he executive produced the score for the Benny Safdie and Nathan Fielder satirical comedy series The Curse with John Medeski.^[59]

Style and approach

Lopatin's musical work has been described as recontextualizing sounds and styles from different eras, ranging from the "vintage synth oddities" of his early work "to the '90s TV commercial-sampling Replica and the alt-rock-inspired Garden of Delete", according to AllMusic's Heather Phares.^[60] Jon Pareles of The New York Times said that Lopatin has engaged with "a broad and deeply idiosyncratic array of genres, samples, sources and strategies, from minimalism to collage to noise", often using "snippets of material—ad jingles, saccharine pop productions, throwaway dialogue—that he can't entirely dismiss as kitsch."^[10]

Lopatin said in 2015 that the primary inspirations for his music are abstract, relying on personal ideas and attempting to "characterize [them] in musical form"; he described his creative process as "trying to create these abstract forms that might be suggestive of the influences and inputs I'm getting".^[61] Art theorists David Burrows and Simon O'Sullivan, referring to this in their book Fictioning: The Myth-Functions of Contemporary Art and Philosophy, described Oneohtrix Point Never as a project of "productions that are less concrete and more affective in terms of the emotional resonances of music", using the term mythotechnesis to describe the way "in which experience and the collapse of experience loop together [in Lopatin's music], forming circuits of refrains, samples, rhythms, submemetic vibrations and noise."^[62] For Stereogum, Lindsey Rhoades described him as "almost more of a philosopher/sound-collagist than he is a musician", noting his tendency to "elevate sounds otherwise considered cheesy" and prompt reflection "about why you have aversions to certain tones and timbres, and why others immediately bring childhood impressions screaming back into your brain."^[63] Lopatin has said that he began to observe "weird production" elements as a child, saying that he "love[d] the negative space of music so much", additionally saying in 2019 that:

I remember somehow being able to comprehend that a thing to do in music was to essentially keep some pedal going atmospherically in the music while other things change, while the melody changed, and that pedal could just be some sustained tone that kind of referred to the tonal center of the piece. And it was usually tucked away in the background and big and atmospheric. That created this deep, cavernous, sad, washed out, melancholic universe behind the music, behind the melody. And I was like, "That's where I want to be. That’s where I'm from."^[64]

Expressing disinterest in committing to one style or genre, Lopatin has described his artistic philosophy as being distinct from "a complete, a total giving to one form, like a genre, and just a mastery of it [...] My thing is [...] a complete embrace of something, but I've never been able to say, 'I believe in this.' The only thing I believe in is that I'm in this perpetual state of disbelief."^[65] In 2018, in conjunction with the release of Age Of, he began to use the term "Compressionism"—a riff on compressors, used by audio engineers—to describe what he referred to as "a historically motivated need to organize and make sense of an illogical flow of external media inputs that is living in a completely cybernetic reality. Which is what we're in right now."^[66] To be Compressionist is to pragmatically "accept the barrage" of popular culture,^[66] describing it as a process of "dealing with the overload of knowing about too much stuff, about being exposed to too many historical inputs, and then turning it into some kind of coherent jumble [...] It's still a jumble, but it's a kind of coherency of drawing connections between things."^[65]

Influences

Crediting the music that his parents introduced him to, Lopatin has stated various musical influences including "all the strange moments from Beatles songs", the jazz fusion groups Mahavishnu Orchestra and Return to Forever,^[64]^[67] and progressive soul musician Stevie Wonder,^[2] as well as later personal influences such as electronic composer Vangelis,^[64] hip hop producer DJ Premier,^[67] and shoegaze band My Bloody Valentine.^[13] He has also cited literary influences, including Romanian pessimist philosopher Emil Cioran,^[68] and science fiction authors Stanisław Lem and Philip K. Dick.^[69]

+Lopatin said in 2015 that the primary inspirations for his music are [[Abstraction|abstract]], relying on personal ideas and attempting to "characterize [them] in musical form"; he described his creative process as "trying to create these abstract forms that might be suggestive of the influences and inputs I'm getting".<ref name="musicradar">{{cite web |title=Classic interview: Oneohtrix Point Never - "For me a synthesizer is an abstract tool; I look at it and I'm just guessing a lot of the time"|url=https://www.musicradar.com/news/oneohtrix-point-never-drums-synths|website=[[Future plc|MusicRadar]] |date=2015}}</ref> Art theorists David Burrows and Simon O'Sullivan, referring to this in their book ''Fictioning: The Myth-Functions of Contemporary Art and Philosophy'', described Oneohtrix Point Never as a project of "productions that are less concrete and more affective in terms of the emotional resonances of music", using the term ''mythotechnesis'' to describe the way "in which experience and the collapse of experience loop together [in Lopatin's music], forming circuits of refrains, samples, rhythms, submemetic vibrations and noise."<ref>{{cite book| last1 = Burrows| first1 = David| last2 = O'Sullivan| first2 = Simon| date = 2019| title = Fictioning: The Myth-Functions of Contemporary Art and Philosophy| publisher = [[Edinburgh University Press]]| pages = 487–488| isbn = 978-1-4744-3240-5}}</ref> For ''[[Stereogum]]'', Lindsey Rhoades described him as "almost more of a philosopher/sound-collagist than he is a musician", noting his tendency to "elevate sounds otherwise considered cheesy" and prompt reflection "about why you have aversions to certain tones and timbres, and why others immediately bring [[Childhood memory|childhood impressions]] screaming back into your brain."<ref name="rhoades">{{cite web |last1=Rhoades |first1=Lindsey |title=Oneohtrix Point Never Albums From Worst to Best |url=https://www.stereogum.com/1933687/oneohtrix-point-never-albums-from-worst-to-best/franchises/counting-down/ |website=[[Stereogum]] |date=April 12, 2017 |access-date=December 29, 2019}}</ref> Lopatin has said that he began to observe "weird production" elements as a child, saying that he "love[d] the [[negative space]] of music so much", additionally saying in 2019 that:
+<blockquote>I remember somehow being able to comprehend that a thing to do in music was to essentially keep some pedal going atmospherically in the music while other things change, while the melody changed, and that pedal could just be some sustained tone that kind of referred to the [[Tonality|tonal center]] of the piece. And it was usually tucked away in the background and big and atmospheric. That created this deep, cavernous, sad, washed out, melancholic universe behind the music, behind the melody.

That’s where I'm from."<ref name="cos">{{cite web|title=Composer of the Year Daniel Lopatin on Scoring the Anxiety of Uncut Gems and Winning Over the Safdie Brothers|url=https://consequence.net/2019/12/composer-of-the-year-daniel-lopatin/|website=[[Consequence of Sound]]|last=Phillips|first=Lior|date=December 20, 2019}}</ref></blockquote>
+Expressing disinterest in committing to one style or genre, Lopatin has described his artistic philosophy as being distinct from "a complete, a total giving to one form, like a genre, and just a mastery of it [...] My thing is [...] a complete embrace of something, but I've never been able to say, 'I believe in this.'
