Before the digital age, analog machines defined and even birthed electronic music. Their warm, organic resonance shaped entire genres —techno, house, EDM — through pioneers like Charanjit Singh, whose 1980s synth explorations broke new ground, and visionaries such as Kraftwerk and Brian Eno, who hardwired the DNA of modern sound. Even today, the electricity of oscillators and drum machines continues to offer something that digital precision cannot: an imperfect vitality, alive with possibility.
It is into this lineage that Omen IV: Ascensio situates itself. Conceived by the BONK RESEARCH DEPT., a collective devoted to live, electro-harmonic experimentation with synthesizers and drum machines, the event is a space for calculated disorder, and where modern electronic sound finds its roots anew in hardware-driven expression. BONK RESEARCH DEPT. channels that heritage into something both reverent and restless, honouring analog’s timeless warmth while propelling it forward.
Three artists converge under this shared ethos. Glitch Rot is a metalhead turned sonic alchemist, whose DAW-less setups conjure chaotic, industrial-tinged soundscapes. His live improvisations charged by analog circuitry and inspired by Aphex Twin and The Prodigy are uncontainable. INDRAA, emerging from Goa’s vibrant underground and backed by Bonk Records, brings hypnotic beats with magnetic energy. His sets arc unpredictably, weaving dark-psy, jungle, and eclectic twists into sudden, adrenaline-driven peaks. Deep East (also known as Noble Luke) pursues an intriguing hypothesis: that analog electronic exploration existed in ancient India. He plays live through analog machines fractally layered, fully improvised blending Indic rhythmic sensibilities and analog resonance in real time.
They share a stage with acts pushing boundaries in extreme music. Slaughter Pit, under the banner of antiSOCIAL Pune, delivers gritty riffs, blast beats, and soulful dissonance — a chaotic purge of burdens that resonates physically. Vomit Suit, in a cybergrind alliance with Glitch Rot and Bone Beater, merges savage synths, distorted guitars, and relentless blasts, all heightened by hardware-triggered visuals. Atmosfear, Mumbai’s revered brutal death-metal veterans, will anchor the experience, with nearly two decades of slamming grooves and aggression.
Analog electronica, metal, noise, and ritualistic catharsis converge in Omen IV: Ascension. Here these seemingly different genres coexist, amplify one another, and forge a singular spectacle where past and future, machine and flesh, order and chaos, meet on the same battlefield. In that crucible, the spirit of electronic music is laid bare — an unapologetically analog core, set aflame by fierce creativity to shock the senses.
