Daniel Lopatin shares ‘Marty Supreme’ soundtrack ft. Weyes Blood & Laraaji; on new episode of ‘Track Star’

Daniel Lopatin, aka Oneohtrix Point Never, has had a busy 2025. He released his new 0PN album, Tranquilizer,  and scored new film Marty Supreme. The movie is the solo directorial debut from Josh Safdie — whose previous films were made with brother Benny Safdie — and it marks the third feature they’ve made together. (Good Time and Uncut Gems are the previous two.) Timothée Chalamet stars as the titular Marty, “a young man with a dream no one respects, goes to hell and back in pursuit of greatness.” That dream is to become the best table tennis player of all time. The film also stars Gwyneth Paltrow and Tyler, The Creator and the cast also includes filmmakers David Mamet and Abel Ferrara, magician Penn Jillette and musicians Lizzi Bougatsos (Gang Gang Dance) and Wiki.

Lopatin’s score is pretty great, engaging whether you’ve seen the film or not (this writer has not yet), and though the film is set in the 1950s, the score is very ’80s: think what Tangerine Dream did for Risky Business and Legend, or Jan Hammer’s Miami Vice score. It features some cool collaborators, namely Isaak Mills, who’s flute skills are all over this, ambient icon Laraaji on thumb piano, and Morricone-esque Edda Dell’Orso-style vocalisations from Weyes Blood who Chalamet seems to like a lot even if he doesn’t know how to pronounce her name.

Lopatin says of his score:

The music of Marty Supreme came from an obsession with coaxing melody out of buoyant sounds— compiling hundreds of mallet strikes, tines, and quick flutes to follow mercurial Marty around on his big adventure…. and who is a ping pong ball of a human himself. I wanted the score to live between tradition and invention, with neoclassical elements grounding the world around him as he finds it with rules, limits, and pressure. The electronic textures lean into the future he imagines, even as those forces begin to contend with each other.

I have about a million and one things to share with you, but right now it must be said I had the greatest, scrappiest, hardest working team that a composer could ask for. Much of the job of music department head is really just choosing great people who inspire and make great things, and in that sense I did a fine job

Meanwhile Daniel Lopatin is on the new episode of man-on-the-street gameshow Track Star where he is quizzed about ’80s music. Unsurprisingly he does very well but he does mis-identify one of the songs he’s played. Can you do better? Watch below.
