Summary:
In a December 2025 interview with Ilker Yücel, Agi Taralas and Kev Gould of Omen:Code discuss their debut album Alpha State, released under Dependent Records. Initially conceived as a one-time project, their strong creative chemistry led to a more permanent collaboration. Gould’s background includes influential projects like Electronic Assassin, while Taralas enriched the vocals and lyrics of Alpha State. The duo aims to evolve their sound beyond classic cyberpunk and explore richer, more industrial themes. They express a profound connection between their music and contemporary societal issues, especially as they relate to dystopian realities. Both artists recognize the importance of production value and sound quality while navigating the modern landscape of musical formats.
Thought-Provoking Statement:
As Omen:Code crafts their music from both nostalgic influences and pressing contemporary themes, how do you envision the intersection of art and reality shaping the future of electronic music? What role do you think artists should play in reflecting societal issues through their work?
