Sogen
Sogen is a new electronic production duo comprising Rick Goddard aka Kogane, currently based in Tokyo, and Auryn Waring aka Shinamo Moki (and ½ of duo Tolari), based between Shanghai & London. Sogen’s journey began in late 2019 when they started exchanging musical ideas across the internet. Growing up inspired by the likes of Bibio, Four Tet, Gold Panda and Aphex Twin, the members of Sogen have now proudly worked with their contemporary influences such as Daisuke Tanabe, Tomggg and aus of Flau Records. Their mutual love for exploration and a shared disinterest in adhering to the confines of musical genre help lay the groundwork for their eclectic debut album You’ve Got Me. Centered on themes of nostalgia, AI, and humanity, You’ve Got Me tells the story of a female twenty-something developing a program that allows users to relive, alter or erase past memories. Alluring and cutesy animations courtesy of Alex Futtersak (Porter Robinson, Kid Cudi, Bladee) subtly convey the poignant themes and ideas of the instrumental LP.
