ARBOR 115; LP ALBUM ONEOHTRIX POINT NEVER ZONES WITHOUT PEOPLE Daniel Lopatin’s Oneohtrix Point Never represents a rift in time; an isolationist expedition into the archaeology of sound that utilizes the analog polysynth as a means of organic creation.  “Zones Without People” is the second record in the OPN trilogy; acting as a bridge between the drifting, nebulous landscapes of “Betrayed in The Octagon” and the finely detailed sound sculpture of Lopatin's present work. An exercise in ‘in between-ness’: reconciling noise and melodicism, drone stasis and the transience of concrète, and the amorphous zone between 70s Kraut synth music and 80s techno.  Arpeggios and sequencers play a key role in this amalgamation, as these forms of repetition create an attachment to a certain sentiment neither human nor machine.  The record reflects this transformation; the A Side has distinct emotional flourishes, while the majority of the B Side seems to be overtaken in cold, mechanized melodies; attempts at teaching a machine to feel.  The final track “Hyperdawn” is a solution to these two disparate modes of interpreting stimuli: a pure union of veins and patch cables.  In an edition of 500 copies in proprinted cardboard sleeves with pro printed labels and an insert by Christelle Gualdi.
