Sogen is a new electronic duo made up of Japan-based Rick Goddard (aka solo artist Kogane) and China-based Auryn Waring (aka solo artist Shinamo Moki and ½ of duo Tolari). Heavily inspired by video games and episodic anime, this is a project assembled deep within the online world. A concept album from start to finish, Sogen's debut album has a narrative-driven story arc full of emotional depth, empathy, nostalgia, and cinematic sounds. An illustrated/animated concept and narrative developed by Auryn and Rick. 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. This idea will be hinted at and pieced together throughout the album’s release campaign via social media posts, animated promo, and cover art. About debut track, "September 4th" the duo describe it as being, "The darkest track on the LP." Story idea: When scrolling through her memory bank timeline she finds a missing diary entry on September 4th and this leads to questions of how and why this happened. Dog-0 reminds her that the program was made to automatically erase any negative memories that she had experienced. When she digs up her handwritten diary she discovers the date was the last day she saw her father and it wasn’t on good terms so it was wiped. This is the turning point for her and has her questioning if the program is flawed.
