Herbarium is a co-composition by Florijan Lörnitzo (AT) and Henry McPherson (UK). The piece is a musical and visual exploration of household herbs and spices, mixing illustration, graphic, and traditional western music notation. Each page in Herbarium features one herb or spice, selected by us for their aroma, their shape, and their imaginative qualities. By layering different pages of the score, you can create your own blend of sonic, visual (and culinary) material. The piece can be played by any ensemble of musicians, whether in concerts, or at home in the kitchen.

Premiered by Between Feathers at Conservatoire de Musique de Gatineau (CA), January 2024; and in Europe by Florijan Lörnitzo, Anna Maria Niemiec, Flora Geißelbrecht, Vienna, March 2024
