Description
Oneohtrix Point Never is the stage name of experimental electronic wizard Daniel Lopatin, who's also known for his work with the duo Ford & Lopatin. Using vintage synthesizers, television samples, and found sounds, OPN crafts distant, weightless tapestries of woozily layered ambient sound. His 2011 masterpiece, Replica, was listed as Pitchfork's sixth best album of 2011 and described by Consequence of Sound as "like a series of FM radio transmissions from some far-off, twin parallel universe of ours, not peculiar to the point of total alien-ness, but certainly too strange and outlandish to be of Earthly origin."

Ben Seretan '10 is a Wesleyan alum, guitar genius, songwriter, California native, and member of Duchampion. He described his 2012 release, New Space, as an attempt "to have the sensation of swimming in or being embraced by the sound of my guitar and voice, to feel its physical presence pushing up against my sides, the walls, and furniture." You can read about his work on Wesleying (http://is.gd/ssNCht) and listen to it on BandCamp (http://is.gd/L6YBcX).
This show is free. Doors are at 9:30, and it will begin promptly at 10, ending before 12. "Oneohtrix" is pronounced exactly how it looks.
