For this live show, Oneohtrix Point Never brings Tranquilizer to the stage, accompanied by Freeka Tet’s singular live visual aesthetic.
Pioneer Works, in collaboration with Bang on a Can, is excited to present two nights with Oneohtrix Point Never, to open this year’s Long Play Festival. His only announced performances in the U.S. for this year, these New York shows are a rare opportunity to hear his widely celebrated album, Tranquilizer (2025). His set will be accompanied by multidisciplinary artist Freeka Tet’s singular live visual aesthetic. The evening will kick off with a performance by composer of electronic and notated music, Tyondai Braxton.
The Brooklyn-based musician, composer, and producer is most known for his boundary-pushing soundscapes that blend art, sci-fi, avant-garde techniques, and nostalgic pop culture, often using vintage synthesizers, digital chaos, and complex sampling. His latest album, Tranquilizer, has garnered much critical acclaim—Pitchfork named the album as "Best New Music" and describes Tranquilizer as “the most immediately pleasurable Oneohtrix Point Never album in some time.” Most recently, his score for Marty Supreme (2025) was nominated for the Critics' Choice Movie Award for Best Score, and shortlisted by the Academy Awards for Best Original Score.
