Yes. He links to them in his twitter posts when he puts them up.

I have to wonder if you get an mp3 download with the tape or not... not that I wouldn't love the tape, I fucking love cassettes, but it would be tight to be able to listen to it anywhere (haven't seen my Walkman since 1998 or so)

I wish I could afford his cassettes

such an awesome artist
I'd be interested to know what gear he uses if anybody knows...

Anybody got Games - That We Can Play? This whole thing is solid awesomeness from start to finish.

However, I am SURE i can hear the flute sounds from "Opening The Mouth" in CFCF - Strawberry Skies (Gatekeeper Remix). Anyone else?

how did i miss this guy? what a brilliant way to start my sunday morning.

Heck yeah, OPN for life.

Word to the wise - it's not hosted anymore cuz it's been over 3 weeks since they posted it, but FACT Magazine has a ton of awesome mixes from artists like Lone, Autechre, Four Tet... and one by Oneohtrix Point Never! And I can tell you, it's a beauty. Go on Soulseek and you'll find it there, just search for Oneohtrix FACT or something.

Every time I've seen you play, you're using a [Roland] Juno-60. Is that your bedrock?

It was my dad's. He bought it in 1983, when I was one year old. He bought the Juno because he couldn't afford the Yamaha DX-7, which was like the pop synth at the time.

And you just inherited it at some point?

Yeah, I really loved it as a child—it looked like a cockpit dashboard. I think it made me resent the Samick piano upstairs. Like, the Juno was in the dark, in a cold basement under a plastic sheet, and the Samick was upstairs and it signified MOM BEATDOWNS. She was my teacher, strict Russian-style, but she let me quit piano, so she wasn't really that strict. Anyway, I started using the Juno in high school. I was in a jam band with my best friends. We wanted to sound like Herbie Hancock Thrust.

What were you called?

The Grainers.

OK, go on.

Haha.

Live
So, has the Juno been on everything you've ever recorded? I mean, is it sort of synonymous with your sound at this point?

Yeah, I love the idea of sticking to one primary instrument.

It's your Lucille. [B.B. King's signature guitar.]

Yes. I think I can attest a lot of my happiness with my own music to the fact that I'm in a marriage with this one machine. For better or worse, I "get" it, and that closeness and history yields a lot of interesting results—but also, people get used to it and it starts sounding like OPN instead of a Juno, which I think is also kind of interesting.

Just that what used to be a "Juno" sound might now be an "OPN" sound to kids who are getting into this music? That transference of identity?

Yeah. A Marxist critique of OPN would be like, "He's grafting his image and personality (capitalism) onto the synth (product)."

I'm really liking Replica I am!

Yeah. As a whole I'm enjoying it more than Returnal. Got tickets for OPN later this month in London. Gotta love electronics played loud in a church.

Nice, that should be awesome! Just pre-ordered the vinyl.

OPN is still my favorite electronic musician. Another knockout.

This album is so good. Thank you.

Just got the tape in the mail--it is quite good, on the first listen. I expect this might be my favorite purchase of the year (and it's been a pretty good year, so far).
