Daniel Lopatin, operating as Oneohtrix Point Never, makes music that seemingly defies categorization. The son of Russian immigrants and professional musicians, Lopatin’s work is loosely connected to the noise circuit, but also draws influences from library records, jazz-fusion and his love-hate relationship with new age music. In his lecture at the 2011 Red Bull Music Academy, Lopatin discusses his musical background, his megalomania, his fear of being railroaded by drums and why he loves his old Juno 60 synthesizer.
