Mix 13 got skipped last year and I never got around to releasing it… but now that a convicted felon is being inaugurated on Martin Luther King Jr. Day it’s clear we live in a dystopian universe where many things don’t seem to matter, including superstitions. So slip on your eye-masks and check out for a bit.
This new mix has 40 tracks FULLY MIXED.
This episode’s highlighted track: Track 17
Oneohtrix Point Never - A Barely Lit Path*
Prolific Massachusetts composer and electronic producer Daniel Lopatin who performs under the moniker Oneohtrix Point Never, deftly pairs orchestral strings with synthesizers on A Barely Lit Path, the final track from his “speculative autobiography” Again on Warp Records. A Barely Lit Path begins with a sputtering drone buried under a self-conscious, electronically morphed vocal/electronic query: “If I empty my mind and scoop out my skull, what gifts would I find, what secrets inside?” that responds with a warm organ and self-deferential response, “nothing inside, just a slug that provides a barely lit path from your house to mine…”
The self-addressed Q&A’s conclusion, which seems nostalgic for genuine connections and human bonds formed IRL, builds with confidence under this realization… the warm blanket of pulsating drones and arpeggiating chirps slowly lifts until reaching an ethereal, orchestral crescendo (conducted and arranged by Robert Ames and performed by the Nomad Ensemble). As it builds we hear angelic voices singing what sounds like Baroque exclamations of “Glory” until finally resolving into a strong, pulsating synth that now, finally seems content with itself. ONP’s bridging of electronic and analogue not only shows his proficiency for complex orchestrations that are both clever and catchy but highlight his pop sensibilities that he has showcased when collaborating with artists like The Weeknd, FKA Twigs, Iggy Pop and David Byrne.
