Signing with FFWD Records in 2004, through debut album Epic Symphony they formulized a mixture of trip-hop and downbeat electronica with angelic vocals in the midst of Indonesia's rising electronic dance music scene and rave acts. In 2006, Homogenic continued their musical exploration on Echoes of The Universe, in which the dark ambience of their previous work became lighter, marking the beginning of an electronic pop influence in their music.

Along their musical journey, "Kekal", "Mindless", "Unfolding Sympathy" and other songs from Homogenic’s two albums were featured on the original soundtrack of the indie movie Cin(T)a by Sammaria Simanjuntak. In 2010, Let a Thousand Flowers Bloom released by FFWD Records, which was a transitional process for Homogenic, in which their eclecticism came to life in a hail of lush melodies, playful instruments and stuttering beats.

In 2012, Homogenic once again collaborated with Sammaria Simanjuntak on the film Demi Ucok, for which they contributed its music score, along with original songs and reimaginings of older material that would be released by UNKL347 as the album Let's Talk. “Get Up and Go”, the upbeat, disco-ish first single on this album was also featured along with new music from other prominent Indonesian indie acts on Organic Records’ compilation Radio Killed the TV Star. Second single “Takkan Berhenti Disini”, a liquid drum ‘n bass-inspired slow jam, gained rave responses from Indonesian junglist and drum ‘n bass scenes.

"Today and Forever", HMGNC's new single, will be released exclusively via their Soundcloud page as a free download on April 1st, 2015, in collaboration with Papermoon Records.

Selamat datang di dunia maya
Cukup sudah semua kupinta
Biarkan hariku terlahir sepi

The lyrics to Homogenic's song Transmutasi convey the importance of imagination and the freedom that comes with it. With the opening line of "Selamat datang di dunia maya" (Welcome to the virtual world), the song sets the tone for an exploration of the possibilities that come with one's mind. The artist expresses a desire to let go of everything that has been asked of them, in order to be able to fully create their own dream world. The second line, "Cukup sudah semua kupinta" (I've asked for enough), supports this notion of feeling trapped and creatively stifled by external expectations. The artist wants to be free to build their own world that is not influenced by the opinions of others.

The chorus of "Lepaskan (lepaskan) imajinasi dunia, biarkan (biarkan) kuraih kembali semua" (Release (release) the world's imagination/let me (let me) grasp everything once again) emphasizes the importance of letting go of outside influences and embracing one's own imagination. This is further highlighted in the second verse where the artist expresses a desire to always be able to dream, even when they are in the real world. The line "Biarkan diriku s'lalu bermimpi, sendiri 'kan kurangkai lirihku" (Let me always dream, alone I will create my whispers) shows a longing for a space where they can be creative and expressive.

Overall, the song is a call to embrace one's own imagination, to let go of external pressures, and to create freely without fear of judgment.
