TOME HC (2025)

"TOME Volume 2 has the theme of MELANCHOLIA, which is not a state of depression but a condition the psyche passes through for individuation and our collective evolution. The artist is shown to be constantly going through stages of melancholia in their quest to create and show what they see to us for our collective benefit. Exclusive 8-track CD includes songs by Fink, Saltillo, Sage Francis, Richard Walters, Orbit Service, and Oliver Orand aka Hol Baumann."

"The TOME anthology series is curated and edited by Kasra Ghanbari and presents world class, as well as up-and-coming artists exploring a common theme in a beautiful limited run, oversized book that includes an exclusive 12-track CD with songs by Collide, Tony Wakeford, Saltillo, Fink, Rhys Fulber, Edward Ka-Spel, Monica Richards, and Jarboe. Featured artists also have interviews conducted by another artist. TOME Volume 1 has the theme of VAMPIRISM, which is the misuse of power, as well as the objectification and exploitation of others."
