Biography[edit]

Origins[edit]

Born and raised in Massachusetts,^[7] Lopatin is the son of Russian Jewish^[8]'refusenik' emigrants from the Soviet Union, both with musical backgrounds.^[9] Some of his first experiments with electronic music were inspired by his father’s collection of dubbed jazz fusion and Stevie Wonder tapes,^[2] and his Roland Juno-60 synthesizer, an instrument that Lopatin would inherit and go on to use extensively.^[10] In high school, Lopatin played synthesizer in groups with friend and future collaborator Joel Ford, performing at school events.^[11] Lopatin attended Hampshire College in Massachusetts^[7] before moving to Brooklyn, New York to attend grad school at Pratt Institute, studying archival science.^[12] During that time, he became involved in Brooklyn's underground noise music scene.^[13]

2007–2012: Early career[edit]

Lopatin initially released music under a number of aliases and as part of several groups, including Infinity Window and Astronaut,^[14][2] before adopting the pseudonym Oneohtrix Point Never, a verbal play on the name of the Boston FM radio station Magic 106.7.^[15] Early OPN recordings drew on synthesizer music, '80s new age tropes, and contemporary noise music.^[16] 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 international acclaim;^[17] it was named the second-best album of 2009 by UK magazine The Wire.^[13] Also in 2009, Lopatin released the audio-visual project Memory Vague, which included his profile-raising YouTube video 'nobody here'.^[18] His work during this period would be associated with the early 2000s underground hypnagogic pop trend.^[19]

In June 2010, Lopatin followed Rifts with his major label debut Returnal, released on Editions Mego.^[20] 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, ^[21][22][23] 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.^[24] On it, Lopatin developed a sample-based approach that drew on the audio of 1980s and '90s television advertisements.^[24] 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;^[25] Ford & Lopatin released Channel Pressure, and OPN was chosen to perform at the All Tomorrow's Parties festival.^[26] 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).^[27] In 2012, Lopatin collaborated with Tim Hecker on the album Instrumental Tourist.^[28]

Lopatin released his second Warp LP Garden of Delete in November 2015^[37] following an enigmatic promotional campaign.^[38][39] He also composed the score for the 2015 film Partisan, directed by Ariel Kleiman.^[30] In 2016, Lopatin contributed to British singer Anohni's 2016 album Hopelessness and 2017 EP Paradise^[40] as well as Chicagofootwork producer DJ Earl's 2016 album Open Your Eyes.^[41] 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.^[42]

The album collects Lopatin's early synthesizer-based recordings under the moniker dating back to 2003, including the three limited-run LPs Betrayed in the Octagon (2007), Zones Without People (2009) and Russian Mind (2009), as well as several additional cassette and CD-R releases. It was originally released on No Fun Productions in 2009 as a 2 disc set.

The initial issue of Rifts sold beyond expectations and brought Lopatin early critical praise; UK magazine The Wire named it the No. 2 album of 2009.^[1] In 2012, the album was reissued as an expanded 3 disc/5 LP set, including previously unreleased tracks, on Lopatin's own Software label.

Recording and composition[edit]

Rifts collects Oneohtrix Point Never's electronic recordings dating back to 2003, primarily drawing from Lopatin's trilogy of limited-run LPs: Betrayed in the Octagon (2007), Zones Without People (2009), and Russian Mind (2009). He began exploring sounds inspired by '70s cosmic music and '80s new age during his time as part of Brooklyn's noise music scene in the early 2000s.^[1] Following the recording of Russian Mind in 2009 he noticed a 'clear arc' between his three studio albums,^[2] which suggested the records were 'basically a Stanislaw Lem-style trilogy of stories about vague metaphysical sci-fi.'^[3]

The Roland Juno-60 analog synthesizer, which Lopatin inherited from his father, served as his primary instrument.^[4] He noted that 'a ton of [the material on Rifts] is improvised. With the exception of sequencer based stuff, I record straight synth jams and then use that as source material which gets fleshed out and assembled on the computer.'^[5] The compilation showcases Lopatin's distinctive approach to synthesizers, employing 'ornate electronic arpeggios, often run through echo pedals, which spiral off into infinity with breathtaking effect.'^[6] Tracks like 'Format & Journey North' utilize samples taken from YouTube.^[4]

Describing the musical template of Rifts, Tiny Mix Tapes stated that 'some will hear 80s soundtrack music, cosmic ambiance, or minimalist repetition, while others might pick up on the mishmash of noise and plastic, mystical new age music.'^[7] Critic Simon Reynolds described these releases as involving 'rippling arpeggiations, sweet melodies offset by sour dissonance, grid-like structures struggling with cloudy amorphousness.'^[1]AllMusic wrote that 'many of the song titles here feel like they could be the names of forgotten classics of '70s and '80s sci-fi films and literature.'^[8] The track 'Emil Cioran' is named after Romanian philosopher and pessimistEmil Cioran, who Lopatin described as 'one of my top dogs.'^[5]

Release[edit]

The 2009 edition of Rifts sold out its initial 2,000-unit pressing, far beyond expectations, and 'propelled Lopatin to underground-star status.'^[1] In 2012, it was reissued in an expanded 3-CD/5-LP edition on Mexican Summer and Lopatin's own Software label, including additional tracks and alternate sequencing. The 2012 LP version collects the bonus tracks of Rifts into the compilation albums Drawn and Quartered and The Fall into Time, which were themselves released separate from the box set in 2013. The 7 bonus tracks on the original version of Rifts ended up being the contents, in order, of Drawn and Quartered.

Despite its underground release, Rifts received widespread critical praise from a variety of publications. The Quietus located the album in a tradition of 'chromed modernity and pulp futurism' rooted in the cultural milieu of the 1980s, describing the music as 'acting like a cracked mirror refracting the sounds of the past.'^[6]The Line of Best Fit described Lopatin's aesthetic as retro-futurist.^[9]Tiny Mix Tapes stated that 'the sounds on Rifts look to past versions of unrealized futures for inspiration,' adding that 'hearing the record in one sitting is like being in two times and places at once, like watching someone from another decade daydreaming.'^[7]

PopMatters located a feeling of 'dyschronia' in the music, noting an affinity with the contemporaneous 'hypnagogic' music scene. The publication described the music as 'strangely familiar and familiarly strange' and suggested that 'much of Rifts indeed feels like communication technologies carrying on without the influence of anything but themselves and their own mechanical history, surrogate from human involvement.'^[12]Rifts placed second in The Wire magazine's annual critics' poll of the records of the year.^[16] Following its 2012 reissue, Pitchfork called the album 'an important touchstone' and stated that 'the way Lopatin discovered fresh ideas inside of a worn-out genre is an inspiring story for the present age.'^[11]
