“I don’t think its bad,” he says of the shift, “It’s just natural.” Himself a Master of Library Science, Lopatin sees music as shifting from “its Renaissance period of recording” over the last one hundred or so years and entering a period of “evaluation”, an “archival period”. Yet another break from the sounds that have defined Lopatin’s work, R Plus 7 is a triumph and his greatest success at embodying the musical ideas and ideals he has gained some fame for articulating so clearly, eloquently, and seriously. This has been a big year for Daniel Lopatin’s solo project as Oneohtrix Point Never: his collection of initial albums, Rifts, received a deluxe reissue that has already sold out, gaining collectors’ item status, and his debut on electronic pioneering label Warp released to unanimous critical acclaim another home-run in his series of albums that have thus far all begun with the letter “R” (a trend so obviously acknowledged with the title of the newest album that Lopatin naturally avoided addressing it directly). Skipscene: Could you expand on the meaning of the title “R Plus Seven”? Excerpt I’m Daniel Lopatin, aka Onohtrix Point Never.
