Oneohtrix Point Never - Age Of

is the EP worth picking up? if I had more cash I'd definitely pick it up, but I'm out of the work at the moment so I shouldn't. . .

 

 

. . . but I want it.

Blow by Blow feels to me like a sideways "Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence", which, given OPN's rework of a Ryuichi Sakamoto piece makes total sense for connecting the dots.

 

+1 on the Sakamoto vibes. My favorite of these new ones.

oh fuck, these tracks are great.

New tracks are great.

 

I still can't stand Nate Boyce's visuals - they actively detract from the music

first listen and I'm in love with this new ep !

I like all of it

 

Also lol pitchfork

Berlin show Sept 20 at Funkhaus

these 3 new tracks are all pretty good, specially Monody

Looks like I'm heading to Camden on March 8th

I can't stop hearing "Age Of' in my head, and I'm real okay with it.

 

Can't wait to hear the new extra extras.

 

Oneohtrix Point Never in conversation with cult artist Jim Shaw - On AI and Algorithms, “Sour Registers,” and The Nightmare on Elm Street (SSENSE)

 

Celineformation:

 

"But long story short, in homage, I composed this piece called “Toys 2” because I really have very few memories of Toys with Robin Williams, but I thought, "Okay. This will be my proof of concept for Robin Williams’ posthumous CGI return, which will break his request in the will, and it will be a controversial item, and it's going to be this big moment in culture. I'll just make the music now." I had this strange kind of kazoo sound and it's playing this strange lullaby on top of these other things that somehow quoted Céline Dion. I’m thinking we must be reaching the end of a harmonic epoch. There's only so many permutations of the chromatism left to uncover."

he's being naïve there. the reason he ended up quoting celine dion in that track is because of his limited melodic language

​Yeah man that's horse shit. He's a good talker but some dude quoting a super simple diatonic line from a soundtrack does not the end of chromaticism make.

Listen to aphex and you'll soon realise there are still many melodies to uncover. 

 

Love OPN but he does talk some pretentious bullshit. 

 

all sounds rather bombastic 

The mouth speaks what the heart is full of.

Genuinely enjoy OPNs music, garden of delete was great! And his interviews can be interesting too. Just thought it was a bit of a cop out to say the reason behind you ripping titanic was because it's the end of the 'harmonic epoch' i mean come on, that's pretty funny. 

 

He's prob just trolling to be fair

I've not been trying too hard because I don't want to ruin the track but I don't hear the similarities between Toys 2 and My Heart Will Go On :/

 

Anyway, I spent the holidays among medieval cities, castles, ruins etc and couldn't get Age Of (the track, not the album) out of my head. 60mn of harpischord is what I want

Funnily enough I bought the download of this album along with the 12'' of Commissions II and I've heard the album twice (maybe 3 times skipping the awful vocal tracks and sighing on the inside) but Commissions II .... fuck me it might be the best I've heard this decade, just an incredible trilogy of tracks especially the closer. That EP is just something else.
