Back in the mid 80s I brought a 2 dollar cassette titled ''Electronic Music'' (seriously) that was full of music like this. No artist was credited on the sleeve, it only had the information about the record label, it looked ike a library music company. I kind of liked it in a very strange way, it seemed the most generic music I had ever heard but it was well made,calming and charming the way some Muzak (tm) was. I kept the tape in my car, one day I found that heat had melted it beyond repair. The remains actually looked like some of the objects on this video... Never found another copy.
I love when that piano at 2:32 comes from both sides of the stereo mix and then meets perfectly at the center of the mix like some kind of mathematical sorcery that gives you a sense of the space with sounds.
it changes the music completely when you start to slowly realize what it means or come up with your own interpretation, and i think that's what makes some music important. Everyone can take it their own way
This guy is a genius. The way he creates an atmosphere, and how he manages to make a seemingly disparate barrage of sound into a surprisingly cohesive whole. His music really makes me feel like they would work perfectly in a film. The entire "Rifts" album makes me feel like it would be the score for 2001 A Space Odyssey if he made it in this day and age. This is the classical music of the new age.
What a load of shit. Genius? My fucking commodore64 could have written a better peice of music. I've heard real songwriters come up with better melodies by dropping their instrument. You are right about it being the music for the next generation tho. It is souless, pointless and just plain stupid. Perfect for Generation Y.
Postmodernism is an art movement from the turn of the century driven by WWI and the horrors of mechanised warfare. This is a pop-art pastiche at best. Stop trying to sound cool by using terms you have absolutely no understanding of please, its very annoying.
Guys, I've just came back from the R Plus 7 universe. And I will tell you only one thing - prepare for a sonic journey of your life. Now I'm convinced that Daniel came not only from the future but also from another dimension.

it's like random objects that remind you of the past... well some sort of shared past between the viewers built up incidentally by what was a successful product and what's not, then when you zoom out they become jumbled in the mind, and suddenly take on less meaning, become a bit erratic, etc
RVNG was the label the collaboration was released on. Also, Far Side Virtual was top of WIRE's 2011 list, and the tracks have the most plays on last.fm. But apart from those things, correct.
Agreed, I'm just glad someone is making a more traditionally listenable version of that amazing sound. Also, check out Pagoda Of Sin by Japanese Telecom, similar vein.
Totally entranced by the fucking texture of this video. There's something weirdly familiar about these images, like something from my childhood, maybe some dreams I used to have or just my earliest visual memories. Can't put my finger on it, but wow. 10/10
your picture is of a sickly Frank Sinatra from an old Warner Brothers cartoon. In that episode every time the ladies see him they scream "it's franky!"
This song and video alone basically contains a summary of Sophie's whole aesthetic, almost a year before he released 'Lemonade'. I wonder if any was actually directly inspired by this...
Pc music is for the young generation of superhipsters Basically making mediocre plasticky pop songs at a very high pitch/octave plus the minimalism adds to the impresion of a lazy song
The terms "hipster" and "pretentious" have been thrown around so much to the point of becoming meaningless. People can enjoy music for what it is, on a simple level, because they like the rhythm and sounds, or, if they want to, try to make conjectures about what themes some music is expressing. Either way, it's completely harmless mind stimulation. I don't understand why music and art taste is often ground for bickering at each-other. More relevantly: I dig how OPN has varied between albums.
Everywhere on the nex they are saying the album has leaked Im going to buy it when it comes out but I just want to listen to it now anyone know where to get it from msg me plz
Hey, since you guys seem to know what you're talking about, does anyone know where/how to get tickets to the R+7 concerts/listenings in Brooklyn on Sept 13th or the one at the Walker Art Center on Nov 13th? Warps site and the actual venue websites have been dead ends...
It's like those psychological experiments where they flash a load of erotic/violent images in front of subjects to measure their reaction (a psychopath doesn't recoil). The lack of semantic connotations plus the air of unreality of these images would probably make you go mad given enough time.
This is really big and really good, I would like help from Dan if he knows some people who can find some people and we can get the whole entire 3d surrealism movement on my side.
these are some really nice things.

Please speak melon
melon how could you
Secret melon comment
they captured that old 1990's Computer Encyclopedia looks so perfectly in the video
DAMNN that is a fun fact!
i'm consistently jealous of how daniel can make music out of just about anything and he's probably laughing his ass off while he does it
This music makes me want to focus on particular subjects of study and analyze data and compare magnitudes and that sort of shit.
what
Then just do it and shut the fuck up, dumbass.
makes me wanna problem-solve some computer analyticas thingy and deduce ciphers or invest on those market trading stuff and all

There is a strange amount of feeling and drama in that little story. I just might make that into some type of short story, or film.
CortoArmitage i think you may be referring to the Bruton Music Library series
Thank you for this story, hope you find it someday and share
the album art for drawn and quartered is based on the bruton covers oneohtrixpointnever1.bandcamp.com/album/drawn-and-quartered
To think these nameless producers could now be millionaires :(
Wow, this is seriously one of OPN's most beautiful creations. That interlude starting at 1:46 is just gorgeous, really really beautiful.
one of my fave opn songs
right up there with sticky drama and animals
and replica and inside world
I love when that piano at 2:32 comes from both sides of the stereo mix and then meets perfectly at the center of the mix like some kind of mathematical sorcery that gives you a sense of the space with sounds.
I was thinking the same thing... everything contrasts and blends with insane precision
it's so live when that voice says 'wait'
it changes the music completely when you start to slowly realize what it means or come up with your own interpretation, and i think that's what makes some music important. Everyone can take it their own way
just realised that this is a great video.
came for the music, stayed for the interesting comments. i applaud you all, well done!

I've watched this like 100x and i still keep seeing and hearing new details.
Object oriented aesthetics.
Yeah, man. You got it. This the one👀
You are such a genius dude it's blowing us away that you alive...
1:46 gives me shivers every time honestly
the dessert of the real. like drinking a hotel-lobby airconditioned shredded photocopy of a dry powdered milk milkshake, in a dream, on tv.
It sounds cool and I enjoy the aesthetic.
+MESCIZ no
+Mitch L douche
+MESCIZ He meant to say prosthetic. His new ears are really something.
This reminds me of those glory days of early 2000's warp vision videos... plaid itsu... etc. So so so so glad warp is still making stuff like this.
This song is a 10/10. OPN never disappoints.

strangely accurate

this is the most postmodern video i've ever seen
POST POSTMODERN
Postmodern? What does that mean?
google
My ass hurts when I try and google am I doing it wrong?
+mistermethmouth Your profile pic is the most postmodern profile pic I've ever seen.
September can't come soon enough. Lovin this track.
been obsessed with this vid for 10yrs now thanks dan
Very clever use of the Korg M1's sounds. I like this a lot. The images are excellent as well!
I squint my eyes
"wait... THESE AREN'T Problem Areas THESE ARE Still Life"
*throws everything off of my desk*
This is pure uncut genius
an uncut gem?
beautiful yet unstable - like a sonic house of cards
T. Murata is a genius.
because he's the clear frontrunner in his field, and one of the best artists of the decade so far
Guys, I've just came back from the R Plus 7 universe. And I will tell you only one thing - prepare for a sonic journey of your life. Now I'm convinced that Daniel came not only from the future but also from another dimension.
This reminds me of that shit on PBS with the 3D machines, you can see it if you look up Animusic I believe.
Brandon Harvey I was JUST about to say this! Was imagining 3D pipes and lasers listening to this
now this is real dubstep
+HerpyMcDooves Dirtier than passing through the event horizon of a black hole and being both stretched infinitely large and infinitely compressed into a single point, in all three axes simultaneously.
same
+HerpyMcDooves k
This is vaporwave nigga
+HerpyMcDooves Lmao this is neither dubstep nor vaporwave
still one of the best pieces of music i've ever heard.
on est là
This makes me feel like a kid again. If this was broadcast on NTSC analog I would have basically traveled in time. I love every second of it.
currently reading Blame!, and i never thought it would go so well with R + 7, especially with this song
just awesome, trips me every time I watch it
very creative music and art.
omg totally reminded me of that too!!!
amazing
it's like random objects that remind you of the past... well some sort of shared past between the viewers built up incidentally by what was a successful product and what's not, then when you zoom out they become jumbled in the mind, and suddenly take on less meaning, become a bit erratic, etc
Brandon Matson Grande zì
......or it's just a bunch of random objects.
You can derive similar conclusions from deconstructing a new york city trash can. Especially the intestines trumpet at 1:12
that was his point, it's a bunch of random objects from the past or whatever
It is for Warp!
I can't wait to hear this album!
This is the greatest video I've seen in a looong time, amazing
now I really want a ship in a Gatorade bottle
It's okay man time does it's thing.
VHS tapes ROCK! take a look @ this nostalgic video next!
Lock 12 - The Edge
Saw him on Kimmel. Had to dive in. Ended up here. Genius video. All my words are superficial.
man this shit reminds me of the incredible machine 2.
just really good

最高だぜ！
from japan
Well that was just great.
Gets better every time.
Agreed, I'm just glad someone is making a more traditionally listenable version of that amazing sound. Also, check out Pagoda Of Sin by Japanese Telecom, similar vein.
this should of earned best music video
Brilliant video. Fits the music perfectly somehow :)
lovely as always daniel
what an amazing video
Amazing piece of music with an utterly incredible video to boot.
Let the philistines eat bread.
More cake for us.
Totally entranced by the fucking texture of this video. There's something weirdly familiar about these images, like something from my childhood, maybe some dreams I used to have or just my earliest visual memories. Can't put my finger on it, but wow. 10/10
it reminded me of some of the images and artwork on the covers and inside of 80s-90s grade school textbooks
da nd Yep, now that you mention it, I definitely see a little of that type of aesthetic in there.
it's franky!
dabzvapelord Franky? Is this some millennial reference I'm not aware of? Some new viral joke? Did I just get internetted?
your picture is of a sickly Frank Sinatra from an old Warner Brothers cartoon. In that episode every time the ladies see him they scream "it's franky!"
I agree with you
when those synths and those horns play together after the one minute mark it's like deus ex and runescape merged together, i love it
totally!
And that sounds about right
i don’t know what this song feels like, but it sure does feel like something
I LIKE IT
By George, Warp! You've done it again!
interesting concept, cool video, seems like a lot of work
Brilliant video. Not sure I'm totally onboard with the track but give me time.
So Aesthetic
Consenting Adults is a fantastic film.
That was terrifying in a way that I can't put into words.
this somehow gives me the same sensations of vaporwave, i love it
blankbot, that’s because it is vaporwave. Just in a very early state.
@@heliosthevaporwaveelf7275 no, just no
This is what love sounds like
I love it. this is entering the realm of neo-classical
Finally
Oh god, 1:13 to 1:36 is everything I want from music.
best video
This song and video alone basically contains a summary of Sophie's whole aesthetic, almost a year before he released 'Lemonade'.
I wonder if any was actually directly inspired by this...

Personally I like the more classical electronic style of sound that OPN goes for. It gives me nostalgia even though it's new music, I love it.
uhhh yup
and because of this
Video is so good. Makes you question which parts are generated/real.
I Still Can't Tell If This Video Is Real, Or All Of This Is A 3DS Max Animation
xuay Be real, it doesn't matter anyway
*_DAD?_*
textures on 3d animations?
some is real and some is fake
CoooooooooooooooooL！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！
Sharp.
Is that a Laraaji sample at 1:46? Sounds like Immersion off the album Flow Goes The Universe.
Everywhere on the nex they are saying the album has leaked Im going to buy it when it comes out but I just want to listen to it now anyone know where to get it from msg me plz
Wow, where have i reached?
Hey, since you guys seem to know what you're talking about, does anyone know where/how to get tickets to the R+7 concerts/listenings in Brooklyn on Sept 13th or the one at the Walker Art Center on Nov 13th? Warps site and the actual venue websites have been dead ends...
because they like it
so fuckin dope
can't wait for this to drop
i feel left out that i havent seen this until now:(
nice rendering

Everyone from Pamtri to the people that invented AutoCAD for all I fucking care. Literally anyone in the world.
rovings teh label it was out on, the ep they collabed on was part of rvng's freakways series
