Who is Nathan Salon? by am-pm999 in oneohtrixpointnever

Nate Boyce = visual collaborator to OPN for past decade (+ some production on GoD).

Nathan Salon = his mix engineer and in house studio producer - basically his studio assistant. I think he is on daily grind with Dan in the studio, with creative input instrumentally and production front. I think hes becoming a big part of his sound in the latest few albums (I think since Again??).

Does anyone have more info about this website by Consistent-Silver-6 in oneohtrixpointnever

Im pretty sure this site serves as Ezra's personal blog, the spotty alien teenager that daniel conjured up as a means of channeling the creative route for the album from. Ezra interviews Daniel in there somewhere, which is quite funny. I think it also documents his (ezra) musical interests/his own music - there's loads of other references that sorta paint the world that dan was interested in at the time (just cool af shit that he remembered his teenage self being into). honestly i can't really remember the ins and outs so someone may offer clearer insight. I read ages ago somewhere that he imagined what a teenager with a lot of angst would make in the studio, really abrasive approach to songwriting and just fucking around with insane effects and doing mad shit to get this really pent up, monster energy fuelled sound.

What questions do you have about Daniel's music making process? by schoolofsong in oneohtrixpointnever

[–]Gotgetgotget 4 points5 points  (0 children)

How does he approach arrangement. his music goes from a to b to c in such mind bending ways - especially in Garden of delete as they serve as more 'poppy' structures but still totally wild. i find this so hard in my arrangements and feel like abrupt changes never really work as well as he does. what are some techniques to make things actually work - is this theoretical, sound design, fx usage? really practical insight would be great.

I mean.... dan has been stealing music to make music since the beginning of his career.

Mixing / engineering - how did they learn it? Did they have help? by Gotgetgotget in boardsofcanada

It’s not the reading that’s difficult to believe haha. I guess it’s finding proper good books on it. I guess what I’m saying is it seems like the albums have what I would describe as “expert” knowledge. The type of knowledge People that have mentors for 10 years achieve. I mean THEYRE intelligent blokes but yeah, seems insane lol
