this is concerning

yeah i mean i guess weird is relative here. Is it weird compared to the Autechre subforum? No certainly not. Is he a weird guy compared to most musicians and styles? I'd say so. He's always been difficult to categorize for me.

Nice WEIRD track, looking forward to hear the rest

Flol, reminds me when I subscribed to watmm with "weird music" as an interest on my profile and everyone made fun of me. Tbh I thought Incunabula was weirdness' pinnacle at the time.

Back on topic I love this track, it really sounds like a 7mn journey covering everything OPN related. Can't wait to discover the whole album.

Wondering if the video at 3.01 where it goes all organ-arpy is a reference (both sound and visual wise) to:

THE TUESDAY DROP 09.14.21 | SHOTDECK BLOG

Naqoyqatsi has a whole crash test dummies segment with dummies crashing in slow motion

Need to watch that one again - Seem to remember the late 90s/early 00s CGI and editing style being a bit .... yikes in comparison to the first two

For sure. But it def has cool moments

Man, I fuckin' love oneohtrix point never. I am so happy rn. Also, I used to be very deep into NTSB/FAA air disaster analyses. I still am but you just kinda reach the bottom after awhile because aviation is so safe now. Anyhow, the scenario at the end of this video is a real threat to mostly smaller craft like Cessnas. There was a feller whose seat clicked all the way back due to the force of the climb and he couldn't reach the controls. The nose pitched too far up, he stalled and that was that. I can't say for sure that Danny Boy is similarly into air failures but he does stack his stuff with lots of imagery/symbolism/etc.

I like the new song, feels like R+7/Commissions but with orchestral elements.

If the whole album is like this that would be cool, but I find it hard to predict artists like him based on an initial single...

Also thought the video is cool 👌

Wow. That's a blast from the past.

“Weird” has just been handed a new set of parameters.

For the record I called Oneohtrix weird as a person, in an endearing way. not specifically this track. 
 

should’ve known better throwing that term around on this site! 

oh I was just joking around on my end, everybody be cool. 👍
