oneohtrix point never

never heard that before!

but no, not typical at all, at least for his last 4 albums or so. however he does a ton of work outside of the OPN moniker (as documented in many posts above), so it's possible that he has a side project that features more looping vocals, like this one.

i think that one was part of a video compilation he did called 'memory vague'. most of them sound like his other stuff, but there were some other vocal loops iirc

Thanks.

I should plough through the thread, really.

this one is kind of a mid-point between his 'normal' stuff and the Chris de Burgh thing?

he was interviewed on the Freakzone the other night, and described his formative musical experience as being hearing Phil Collins whilst sat in the dentist's chair having his teeth drilled. Suddenly it all makes sense!

i swear i made a "semi-conscious phil collins" reference at the show

^ anyone been bold enough to watch this yet?

Still Life (Betamale)'s video (directed by Jon Rafman) explores the darker recesses of the internet and the absolute rot in the heart of the beta males who frequent said recesses. As such, you see voyeuristic videos of niche fetishses like furries, tracking shots of decaying keyboards, the literal darkness of grubby bedroom PC setups to blinding flashes of violent Hentai.

you know, after the RIP NSFW thread, that was surprisingly not jarring. i am jaded now i guess.

haha, was about to post the same thing

Gentlemen, YOU are the dark recesses of the internet.

i'm sorry but i can't read your post due to my cool furry penis i have attached that's blocking the screen

literally got cockblocked

friends of mine worked for the artist who made that vid

picked up r plus seven early but probably will not listen until after the release date, this new direction is leaving me kind of cold

i take it back, that was awesome

^_^

irie

is it vapor wave?

canyon.midcore

was also wary but now am sold

good listen b2b w/ huerco s

The fox mudpool thing is kind of upsetting

The tune is pretty swell though

On first listen, I like R Plus Seven better than Replica (the only other Oneohtrix release I've heard). But what I'm really jonesing for is another Ford & Lopatin album.

listen to rifts!

He just did a long podcast for XLR8R: http://www.xlr8r.com/podcast/2013/09/oneohtrix-point-never

omg this album is so the inheritor of sakamoto's "esperanto"

whoa, ok, now I'm interested!

i've been playing r plus seven every day and listened to rifts, returnal, replica and r plus seven in a row last night. really cool to immerse myself in the progression of his sound. my brain kind melted tho.

get a philippe saisse feel from this

yesss

wow, otm sisi!

i really love all of the sounds on this, but as a whole i find it kinda tiring. maybe it'll grow on me. the album cover is great and i like this video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uvDzaQOSZ3E

I like it, but not as much as Returnal or Replica, so far. Not sure how much I will want to return to the claustrophobic/techno-dystopian vibe (I certainly don't want to watch that video again for Problem Areas).

others have called the video "disturbing". i'm not sure i understand. i think it's rather beautiful, strange and vacant, but nicely poised between live and memorex. mysterious.

that video always me feel weirdly nauseous - I love it

vid is kinda hilarious

yeah, but subtly, more like amusing

"others have called the video "disturbing". i'm not sure i understand."
I think this is the disturbing one...

Live show in London was fantastic last week, 'Still Life' sounded like the end of the world...those chords...tectonic plates....

oh dear god (xp)

i understand

What I find disturbing about it is the claustrophobic feeling of being stuck in a virtual/synthetic reality, and a crude one at that. Even as someone who doesn't believe in God, I find the idea of an entirely humanly reconstituted reality nauseating. I guess it makes me feel like Jean-Paul Sartre apparently felt on a regular basis, if we are to trust Nausea. A sickening hollowness to being as such.

hate to be tha anti-intellectual voice but yall reading way the hell much into gross stuff + coors light cans

The thing is, I reacted to that video in a very immediate, gut sort of way, and that's my attempt to explain why. That's roughly why I think it bothers me, but I didn't think about it first. It was a very immediate response. Then it was: this bothers me, why does it bother me so much?

Don't deny me the immediacy of my existential dread.

nah, it was created by a visual artist and there are a lot of references in it. magritte, dali, malevich, and the arrangement of objects in the last shot is reminiscent of like, melancholia or something. not that the references themselves make it deep or interesting, but it is at least mining this uncanny valley vibe out of mundane objects, which is interesting and effective apparently, considering the queasiness that some experience.
