Histoire de l’Art
*In process of stocking. Limited to 50 hand-numbered copies.* In the fall of 2018 a close friend of Harold Schellinx registered as an undergraduate student in art history at the Université Paris 1 Panthéon Sorbonne UFR3. As French is not her mother tongue, she recorded the many live-lectures she was attending with a dictaphone application on her iPhone, so as to be able to eventually re-listen to, all or parts of, some of them. During these lectures a substantial fraction of the students took no…

Isola Santa
*100 copies limited release* A place that is real but unreal at the same time and so abstract, it is ideal to introduce ‘Isola Santa’, focused on the dualism matter-not matter, nature and artifice. Each track is the story of a dichotomy that, going through the most lyrical and ecstatic minimalism, is resolved in the sonic richness of the vibrating matter. The one who passes through these opposite suggestions, calculates, acts, creates and then stops reflecting his aspiration in a space of light.…
In Sadness, Silence and Solitude (expanded edition - 2021)
*Limited edition of 500 copies. 2022 stock* "Mammoth stone walls stretching high into the unknown, dank cellars stewn with bones and ashes. A chill in the lonely night wind disturbed by the utterance of arcane phrases. This is music guaranteed to at least bring about thoughts of mysticism, if it doesn't produce mystical states outright. This defines the term hauntingly beautiful.'In Sadness, Silence And Solitude', first released in ì 1997, is the fourth full-length album of raison d'être and is …
The Stains Of The Embodied Sacrifice (Expanded Edition 2021)
*2022 stock* "The Stains of the Embodied Sacrifice" is not only vibrating on the surface of your skin. It is alive and breathing, a creature with a knife that cut deep wounds in your body while your soul shatters for air. It is a psychosomatic and transgressive disease oppressed by a compulsive behaviour manifested in dualities - the one of your body and mind - and states of metamorphoses - mind becomes flesh become wounds become fluids become stains. Play it loud if you want to become the marty…
Belong To The Wind
For all those who relate "maybe to the wind, because they can feel it, or dirt, because they can touch it. But nothing else." Like Bobby Cornett (aka Shane), we are all trying to find where we belong.
Belong To The Wind marks Forager Records' debut release: A lovingly curated collection of crooning psychedelic folk and soul songs gathered from American 45s of the 1970s. The compilation features 10 songs from 10 different acts, each with an indelible story of love, loss, loneliness, and an unrele…
Egomachia
After a very long silence finally here comes the brand new album by this Italian-Archeo-Industrial project. „Egomachia = the fight of the ego“ is the concept behind this album. Album is divided in three sectors which corrispond to the 3 Parche: Clòto, Làchesi, Àtropo. Nothing is casual in Egomachia, like the ennagono that contains the symbol of the 9-sided TQTR logo, like the letters of Egomachia. Egomachia was entirly played with non traditional instruments (all of them are unique and handcraft…

Residy
'The music on this album is a variation on a variation, the Goldberg Variation no. 21 by JS Bach. In a moment of realistic modesty, it struck me that I will probably never live up to my old dream of being able to play all the Goldberg variations in a way that’s at least close to the composer’s intentions and that pleases my own ears. However, I reckoned, perhaps I could use the score of one of the pieces as a foundation to build something else. Exploring and at the same time (re)creating the res…

Genkyo - Yokoo Tadanori Ii Works (Book)
Tadanori Yokoo held his first solo exhibition of paintings in 1966 in Tokyo. His revolutionary work, which oscillates between conceptual art and pure design, rapidly gained attention in the international art world. With a signature style of colourful psychedelia and pastiche, he engages a wide spectrum of modern visual and cultural phenomena from Japan and elsewhere. The subject matter often clashes with what seems a nonsensical collage of images. ‘Genkyo’ is an exuberant, far-reaching anthology…
