Daniel Lopatin (b. 1982) known as Oneohtrix Point Never is a musician, composer, producer, and label founder of Software Recording Company living and working in Brooklyn, New York.
The name Oneohtrix Point Never is a play on words on the frequency of Boston radio station WMJX, 106.7. Lopatin has been making music under the moniker since 2007 when he issued his debut full-length “Betrayed in the Octagon”. He has released numerous EPs and full-length albums - most recently the critically acclaimed *Garden of Delete* (2015) on Warp Records.
Born in the United States to parents of the Soviet Union, Lopatin developed eclectic musical interests from an early age. Initially inspired by his father’s jazz-fusion tapes and later his Roland Juno-60, in his late teens the musician enrolled at Hampshire College. Highlighting Lopatin's love of both new age and noise music, the record heavily featured the Roland Juno-60 and the Akai Headrush looper, which went on to become his signature sound. The record was well-received in experimental circles.
He has been commissioned by museums, organizations and festivals such as Holland Festival (2014); Tate Britain, London and MoMA PS1, New York (both 2013); Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington, D.C., and Saatchi & Saatchi, London (both 2012); and The Museum of Modern Art, New York (2011). His film scores include Ariel Kleiman (2015) and Sofia Coppola (2013) and his production credits include Antony and The Johnsons (ongoing) and Nine Inch Nails (2013) among others.
