Video Summary:
“Electronic music pioneer Daniel Lopatin (aka Oneohtrix Point Never) joins SCORE to discuss his explosive new score to A24’s MARTY SUPREME, directed by Josh Safdie, as well as his background as a godfather of the late-2000s “Vaporwave” music genre and his ongoing record producing with singer-songwriter Abel Tesfaye (The Weeknd).
Daniel dives into his early life and discovery on early electronic musical instruments, and how a meaningless corporate job helped inspire some of the hallmarks of Vaporwave music, as heard in his 2010 release Chuck Person’s Eccojams Vol. 1. Daniel dives into vaporware’s inspirations and it’s ongoing influence on his albums, work with the Safdie brothers (GOOD TIME, UNCUT GEMS, Showtime’s THE CURSE and A24’s MARTY SUPREME), and music producing career with The Weeknd.”
