Ogre, primarily known as a synthwave/space rock project, represents the solo endeavors of UK-based composer and musician Robin Ogden. With a clearly defined love for retro-futuristic sounds, the artist meticulously weaves together a tapestry of analog synthesizer ambiance, progressive rhythms, and rock motifs reminiscent of the 70s and 80s. Ogre draws upon a rich palette of influences, ranging from the pioneering electronic explorations of Tangerine Dream to the heavy riffs and epic scale of progressive rock giants such as Pink Floyd.

His 2019 album "Thrice as Strong" showcased Ogre's ability to blend heavy rock elements with lush, atmospheric electronics, serving listeners a unique blend of nostalgic tones and contemporaneous production. Similarly, "The Future," released in 2020, continued his electronic odyssey, further establishing his penchant for cinematic soundscapes. Ogre's skill for creating immersive auditory experiences was particularly highlighted in "Night of the Living Dead (Original Motion Picture Rescore)," where he provided an alternative soundtrack to the classic horror film, demonstrating his versatility and keen understanding of mood and pacing in composing. "Dawn Of The Proto Man," continues Ogre's journey into synthesizer-driven narratives, drawing heavily on the styles and aesthetics that have influenced him, contributing to the ever-expanding realm of electronic and experimental music.
