[UPDATE: Daniel Oneohtrix will join us on Wednesday March 21st (not the 14th as originally announced)]
[Daniel Lopatin of Oneohtrix Point Never]
I’m pleased to announce that Oneohtrix Point Never (aka musician Daniel Lopatin) will be my special guest on the Wednesday March 21st edition of Mudd Up! on WFMU.
Oneohtrix Point Never’s 2011 album, Replica, was a rare type of excellent — not only was it a moving & detailed work of experimental/ambient goodness, it also felt significantly different from OPN’s earlier releases, adding uniquely arranged samples and rhythmic moments which conjured a pop spirit into experimental sound bodies. The trend tends to be for musicians to become more… standardized? commercially groomed?.. as their visibility rises, so it was so refreshing to hear Replica pull things even further out.
So. Join us on Wednesday night to hear OPN share music and chat about his songwriting + live performance approaches, VHS-visions in the era of YouTube, synthesizers, slowness, what he is up to co-running the Software label. Also for discussion: Mexican border sci-fi (Sleep Dealer reference anyone?), and, if we’re lucky & can get the muddy scoop declassified in time, we’ll get to learn about Lopatin’s very recent work mixing a great indie band.
The show will be two-hour special, 7-9pm on Wednesday March 14th.
You can stream Replica below.
capital cool! I’ll be tuning in!
oh yes. cant wait for this show. also OTP would have been perfect for the long nights i sent composing 3d militarized wall on the border shots of SLEEPDEALER .)
