"Herbario is the Spanish name given to a collection of dried plants and flowers preserved in an album. The collector usually writes with pencil the name of the herb, the place and date of collection, thoughts, and the habitat where the plant was collected from.
 
I live in a place surrounded by mountains and wild gardens which are, to me, a source of inexhaustible beauty. Through them I feel the passage of time: an ancient, circular temporality that follows the course of seasons, dialogues with the dark stillness of the mountain and the moon calendar. Each musical piece of Herbario has the name of my favourite flowers and trees.
 
Through a year of uncertainty, from March 2020 to March 2021, I composed this album in the same way a botanist would have proceeded: collecting and preserving simple, broken and hypnotic melodies.
 
F. D.
La Cumbre, Argentina. "

Crush is the new single by Dayflower: Soft strummed acoustics are set against a legion of programmed drums while sequenced burbles conjure clubby nostalgia from the night before... a blissful sense of a comedown lifting.

Crush's multi-layered instrumental is enriched by contributions from electronic / production maestro Mark Van Hoen (aka Locust) whose résumé includes collaborations with members of Slowdive, Seefeel and Lush.
 
Crush is released on all platforms May 17th 2024.

Additional guest vocals provided by Martha Bean.

Instruments and production by David Dhonau and Mark Van Hoen.

Official Music For Fierce Firefly - Miss You Deluxe Edition Album is out now on all platforms. Link in Bio

“Miss You (Deluxe Edition)” marks the final chapter of my lofi and emotional journey  a quiet, reflective space where memories, friendships, and lost connections all come together in sound. Even without lyrics, every piano note, every soft beat, and every ambient layer carries a story that words could never express.

This deluxe edition goes deeper than the original  more raw emotion, more space to breathe, and more moments frozen in time. It captures the feeling of holding on, letting go, and learning to move forward. The sadness, the romance, the friendships that faded, the silent nights… all of it is woven into the melodies.

Each track feels like a page from a diary, told through warm lofi textures, gentle chords, and melancholic piano lines. It’s an album made from real life the end of a personal era, the closing of an emotional chapter. “Miss You EP was where my emotional lofi journey began  and Miss You (Deluxe Edition) is where that journey finally ends. The story starts there… and it closes here.”

Gone Away

Fragments of Tomorrow – Ambient Ethereal Dystopian Soundscapes

Fragments of Tomorrow drifts through a hauntingly beautiful world caught between decay and hope — a soundscape of ambient, ethereal, and dystopian textures that evoke the remnants of a fading future. 🌌⚙️ Layers of ghostly synths, fractured echoes, and atmospheric tones intertwine, painting scenes of forgotten cities, endless skies, and dreams suspended in static.

This collection captures the quiet pulse of desolation and renewal — music for those who find beauty in stillness and meaning in the ruins. Perfect for writing, reflection, or cinematic immersion in the world beyond the horizon. 🕯️💫

Scars WIll Fade

from 'Miscellany' [CD|LP|DIGITAL]
Denovali Records · den348
available on all formats at http://denovali.com/origamibiro

After an almost 6 year hiatus, and the break up of the audio-visual trio it had evolved into, Origamibiro returns with Miscellany, a body of work amassed during the years since the release of 2014’s Odham’s Standard.

Though the group never officially disbanded, a number of life-changing events meant it simply became impossible to continue together. As such, the project organically reverted back to the solo pursuits of composer Tom Hill. Fellow multi-instrumentalist Andy Tytherleigh, however, remains a strong collaborator.

Miscellany comprises a varied mixture of work, ranging from electroacoustic to orchestral chamber music. Drawing upon much of the found-sound style for which Origamibiro became known, the DIY approach to sampling and composing continues to play a central role in the process.

Exploration into the tangible nature of everyday objects and textures - both in and outside of the home - is a theme relished in much of Origamibiro’s work. Forest brambles and plastic toy Easter eggs are examined in surgical detail alongside the debris of demolished piano parts, to be repurposed into whatever sonic potential they offer up.

However, new additions to the instrumental palette - viola da gamba, piano, zither, singing bowl, glockenspiel, drum machines and gongs - contribute to an even broader timbre.

Miscellany will be released on Denovali, March 2021.
