Oneohtrix Point Never
Outline
Oneothrix Point Never (or OPN) is a moniker used by electronic music artist Daniel Lopatin who has been putting out work that pulls from minimalism, abstract music, modern music, avant-garde jazz, and drone music. A lot of his inspiration comes from late '80s MIDI driven sound and '90s video game loops with clever melodic snippets dropped in. He has been moving towards a more accessible approach in recent years, adopting common song elements as opposed to his usual open-ended, synth-driven think pieces. There are now overt melodies in his music, rhythmic structures, arrangements, and even vocals, all of which gives off at least some pop-adjacent vibes. That said, he is still an experimental musician at his core, continuing to explore sonic structures through synths, even if his edges may have softened a bit.

He has been working with an interesting array of musicians in his recent work, including James Blake, Caroline Polachek, and The Weeknd.
