So, aside from replacing Death Grips on tour with Nine Inch Nails with his “hard-rock cyberdrone” guns blazing, what’s Oneohtrix Point Never a.k.a. Daniel Lopatin been up to these past few months? It’s funny I should start off a news post with exactly that idle question right now, what with this link to some information about just what he’s probably been doing with at least some of his time, in between taking showers and using the toilet burning a hole in my digital pocket. Of a piece with his ongoing interest in doing commissioned work, he’s been working on a score for Koki Morimoto’s 1995 anime Magnetic Rose (which is part one of the three-part series Memories. Working hard or hardly working, Mr. Point Never? “Working hard” is what I bet he would say if we were friends and had the sort of rapport where I could ask him dumb water-cooler type questions like that.
Lopatin will perform the score live at the Jodrell Bank Observatory in Manchester, England on October 4 at an event that will also consist of a screening of Ridley Scott’s Alien and talks by actual scientists about whether or not anyone can hear you scream in space. For real! Tickets for the event went on sale at noon UK time today. Click here to put your money into an internet hole and be rewarded with one (or several). In my not-actually-professional opinion, this will almost definitely be cool.
