Daniel Lopatin (born July 25, 1982), best known as Oneohtrix Point Never or OPN, is an American experimental electronic music producer, composer, singer, and songwriter.[2][9] His music has utilized tropes from various musical genres and eras, sample-based composition, and complex MIDI production.[10]

Lopatin began releasing primarily synthesizer-led music in the 2000s, and received acclaim for the 2009 compilation Rifts as well as the influential vaporwave side-project Chuck Person's Eccojams Vol. 1 (2010). He subsequently signed with Warp in 2013, and has since released studio albums on the label to positive critical reception. He has also composed scores for films such as Good Time (2017) and Uncut Gems (2019); the former won him the Soundtrack Award at the 2017 Cannes Film Festival.[11]
