---

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.

The score for Herbarium is interactive and digital! It works in html, on any common web browser, and on any device. Players can download the score for free at Payhip (https://payhip.com/b/GdTY7) – this includes an online and an offline version of the score. The world-premiere recording of the piece is also available at Bandcamp (https://florijanandhenry.bandcamp.com).

Herbarium was made possible with the generous support of Stadt Wien and SKE Austromechana.
