: : Oscillator Project : :
One of the last places you think to associate Pittsburgh with is New York. With the exception of maybe having the same amount of grime and homeless people, Pittsburgh is about as far away from New York as you could probably get in terms of culture, arts, lifestyle and above all, electronic music.
In a land of bar bands, blues rock, 70's nostalgia and a punk scene that has neiter expanded nor receded since the late 80s, there seemed to be little hope for a progressive chill New York style groove in this town.
...then along comes Oscillator Project.
OP (aka daniel Pipitone) does New York. His long-form grooves talk about the steam and the streets. Infused with Virus style appegiations, a little soft-synth pad wrangling here and there, and samples of the likes of Ken Nordine, OP's work embodies a fresh soul in a bar-band landscape.
If you listen to OP, you get the sensation of sitting in the back of a packed after hours club, sipping a Manhattan and nodding along with the layback of a chill, Trip-Hop groove. Pipitone's work is full of style and grace. Although he is a "laptop" artist at this point, it is clear that he has mastered his tools and uses them to get beyond the "song-o-matic" trap that many fall into with these type of "everything in a box" software packages and ready made acid loops now available. his work sounds like his own, and his own is trip.
