His earlier work, composed largely of glacial drone compositions, reminiscent of the works of Vangelis or Boards of Canada's more ambient moments, has given way in recent releases to a more obtuse, sample-based style, revolving heavily around minute vocal edits and ''musique concrete'' techniques. He replaced Music/DeathGrips as the opening act for the Music/NineInchNails[=/=]Music/{{Soundgarden}} summer 2014 tour.

Oneohtrix Point Never is the recording alias of Brooklyn-based experimental musician Daniel Lopatin, also one half of synth-pop duo Ford & Lopatin.

His earlier work, composed largely of glacial drone compositions, reminiscent of the works of Vangelis or Boards of Canada's more ambient moments, has given way in recent releases to a more obtuse, sample-based style, revolving heavily around minute vocal edits and ''musique concrete'' techniques. He replaced Music/DeathGrips as the opening act for the Music/NineInchNails[=/=]Music/{{Soundgarden}} summer 2014 tour.

He can be found on [[https://twitter.com/0PN twitter]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCp3pU3mCxnDPsFHim-4jenA YouTube]].

!!Oneohtrix Point Never' music contains the following tropes:
* FutureImperfect: His take for eccojams is that a civilization from 10,000 years would try to recreate today's music, but get it all wrong.
* NostalgiaFilter: Discussed.
-->'''OPN:''' It's depressing that people would buy these [=DVDs=] of old commercials and watch them while eating Cheetos. And it's annoying when a lot of my stuff is framed as "ultra-nostalgic music" because ultra-nostalgic music to me would be Music/TheStrokes. There is nothing wrong with it, but I don't feel like I'm that nostalgic. I'm trying to think about it as something that people feel.
