I love that track. I also heartily endorse listening to GoD on a good system— my first experience with it was driving down the 5 from Redding to the Bay, and it was...psychedelic, I almost drove off the road a few times lol.

table, want to see something really embarrassing that is related to the idea of music making you want to drive a car off a road?

that was the first mix i submitted to that website! i was 22. it's really bad, but in the description i wrote

"Regarding the last song...the first part of it is the chorus of Life in a Glasshouse, played backwards. I made it so the sound gets louder and louder as the sound washes over you, panned right to left. Then, as it fades to the left, an excerpt of Pharoah's Dance, looped, and heavily echoed, fades in, panned right, than to the left. As the sound of Pharoah's Dance is fading away to the left,
Life in a Glasshouse fades back in from the right, and whole process repeats, over and over, for about
15 minutes. I guess this is kind of strange, but it sort of hypnotizes me, in fact, I've almost wrecked my car several times listening to it."

have i gotten smarter or dumber in the last 19 years? treading water, probably, but i wish i could find that old tape because i now have zero recollection of what that sounded like

I find all of his music (past and current) to be too exhausting to approach these days

love these U tracks off the essential mix

'Long Road Home' is great - not so into the rest of the new album.

'Physical Memory' is the best long OPN track. Actually interested in why he hasn't made many long pieces (whether layers on loop or something more progressive).

I love that, Karl Malone!

this guy is a really cool artist, and I don't want to downplay his contribution to R Plus Seven, but shouldn't he give some credit to Georges Schwizgebel?

Y’all are gonna make me open the Photoshop file and show you the layers before you’ll believe I made this image huh? https://t.co/ZgZPKZjQWF

I follow him on IG and enjoy his art. Did not know he was “responsible” for the R+7 cover. Is it not literally just a screenshot from that short film, maybe slightly cleaned up? Weird to get combative about.

yes, I follow him too and I find it very weird to frame it like this without mentioning the artist who created the original image

Setlist from last night… just getting warmed up, more rebuilds to come 🤓 pic.twitter.com/ofeGXdZThL

anybody have any idea what the hell he's talking about, I see no evidence he's on tour

not sure, it's electronicon this weekend but didn't think he was involved this year

ugh it was a web3 festival

https://fest.fwb.help/

(which kinda makes sense since Nate Boyce has been super into selling NFTs)

gross but not unexpected

gross

goddamnit well I hope he and the other artists culled some serious $ from these cons

At any rate, literal dream setlist

I bet they did, I've read a few times that nobody wants to do these events so they have to pay amounts that an artist would be insane to pass up

Oh fuck no.

The group photo in this reeks of moneyed Williamsburg residents circa 2002 transported forward 20 years. Age has made them all look even creepier now than they did back then.

good former ilxor cameo in there

bummed that josh eustis from telefon tel aviv fell for this bullshit, always seemed like a sensible dude.

Become the a-hole before another a-hole takes the space. It’s the recalibrated dream

“We’re trying to build while we can before big awful corporations come and ruin it for everybody,” said Joshua Eustis, a music artist known as Telefon Tel Aviv. “Capitalism is superimposed on our way of life and our financial system and the fact that web3 is currently wildly inadequate to correct for that, is not enough of a reason for us to abdicate our responsibility to shape it in its early condition.”

“If we don’t,” he said, “some a--hole will later and we’ll have to use it.”

We need to superimpose an alternative to capitalism that has more speculation and allows every person, being, thing, or idea to have a monetary value that can be traded for profit or endless desperate selfish losses

So OPN was a last minute replacement at the Portola Festival in SF (M.I.A. canceled), and it was indeed the dream setlist above give or take, leaps and bounds better than his past live shows I've seen, just pinnacle shit from him and all over his career sound pallet and mixed to perfection. He pulled out a bow and riffed pure distorted face melting chaos in between various tracks I did and did not recognize. Everything twisted and turned unexpectedly, yet organically and the visuals were a mix of distended cartoons, AI generated images, and smoky textural abstractions.

Probably one of the better sets I've seen in years by any artist. Hope he tours in earnest because this deserves to be seen and heard by many.

Oneohtrix Point Never: Surprisingly, given the retro undercurrents of his early work, Daniel Lopatin has never really looked back on his own music; he tends to keep moving forward, and in recent years, his zigzags have become more pronounced. But at Sónar he took the unusual step of presenting a live show of Rifts-era material, essentially reverse-engineering it in order to recreate it live. The biggest surprise was how massive it sounded; at its peak, it was straight-up dance music, driven by a powerful sense of rhythm, and the crowded Sónar Hall responded in kind, in full-on rave fashion.

Philip Sherburne on 0pn's Sonar set

Would travel to see this guy

Would love to hear a recording of that set.

His Big Ears set was incredible but gave me severe anxiety. I noticed some older material in his set including "Betrayed in the Octagon"

I hope he plays more shows in that vein, would love to see it. I admire him for constantly trying new things, but nothing he's done since has topped the Rifts/Returnal era for me. Probably my favorite synthesizer music ever.

show mentioned above just came through sydney - far out, just amazing - i saw him sometime between replica and r+7 and it was pretty flat, this was the OPN live experience that i never thought i would get - and if i feel 5% guilty for having my fan desires serviced in this way, i can live with that - I don’t really know the track names but tonnes of rifts-era materical reworked, (i think it was) physical memory was unbelievably beautiful

I'm excited for his visit to Austin in a few months

New album coming in September

fuuuuuck yes

somehow did not know about this until just this moment

This and Laurel Halo's new one are excellent.

I've had this on in the background all day. It's quite good. I like the jazz fusion touches.

i'm liking this more than anything he's done in a very long time

Yeah. Had it playing in the background while doing stuff cuz I Am Behind On Things, eventually realized I had to sit down and listen properly.

an unexpected lovesliescrushing collab

some of this sounds like he's been listening to John Frusciante's To Record Only Water for Ten Days

finding this kind of maddening tbh

he's kind of a total wanker these days?

did you press the button with the triangle on it, or the button with the square on it?

he's kind of a total wanker these days?

Stylistically? I mean this album is right in his wheelhouse, so I guess he's been a bit of a wanker since day 1.

Loving this btw - finally got to play this through and it's easily his best since Garden of Delete for me. This is really good stuff and has sonic elements of a lot of his recent work, but structured in a way that reminds me a lot of R+7 and GoD, which is probably my favorite era of his. Love the percussive elements on this too - lots of acoustic drums and sounds, which feels like a new element along with the strings.

Memories of Music is like him doing a Campfire Headphase turn or something. I love it!

Do not care for this new one tbh. Kinda boring.

i fucking love this record, especially right around “nightmare paint” and “memories of music”

I love Again. Obviously there's a lot going on to fully process after a few listens, but every few minutes it throws out something that hits me right in the feels.

I also basically love everything he's done. It feels like there's a critical consensus building that he's gone off the boil? I think Age Of was an off-ramp for a lot of people, whereas for me it was the moment he went from being an artist I really like to an artist I adore.

hadnt kept up with his stuff for a while but liking this one
