THE RORSCHACH GARDEN was founded by philipp münch as a solo project in 1988. initially, the project made its mark in the underground tape scene. in the beginning, münch experimented with synthesizers, creating a sound that blended elements of ambient, industrial, and avant-garde music. this first phase of trg ended in 1996 due to his involvement in other musical projects. in 2001, TRG returned with a new musical direction, leaning towards synth-pop and minimal-electro. this revival began with the release of the first 7" vinyl on the bazooka joe label. surprisingly, the song 'state protection' became a club hit and a cult favorite among minimal-electro enthusiasts.
