Affect Effect, a multi-genre electronic music project founded by Tal Kliger in 2018, channels ’90s cinema and cyberpunk culture in its latest album, Friday Night Firefight. Initially an academic exercise, the project transformed into a passionate homage to dark electronic sounds and heavy beats, inspired by Kliger’s own tabletop RPG campaign. With tracks that evoke high-octane chases and gritty battles against corporate oppression, the album also includes reimagined takes on the Cyberpunk 2077 soundtrack, pushing its themes further into darker, more intense territory.
As music continues to explore and intersect with gaming and storytelling, how do you think soundtracks like Friday Night Firefight shape our emotional engagement with digital narratives?
