"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. "

"Untitled" - A2 - was recorded live in Utrecht (Netherlands) by Bjarni Gunnarsson for F/uister, 2016. 

Bjarni Gunnarsson is an icelandic composer and sound artist. Collections of his solo works can be found on the CD ''Safn 2006-2009'' (Lamadameaveclechien, 2010), ''Processes & Potentials'' (3LEAVES, 2013) and ''Paths'' (Granny Records, 2016). Concerned with process-based ideas, his compositions focus on internal activity and motion and put into foreground behaviors, actions, fluid sound structures and fuzzy materials or forms. Interested in exploring the contact between composed computer sound structures and space, Bjarni has presented works in various spatial configurations such as the WFS system in Leiden (192 speakers), the WFS system in Berlin (832 speakers), the BEAST system in Birgmingham (up to 100 speakers), GRM Paris as well as recent 8 and 4 channel formations. Faculty member at the Institute of Sonology, Royal Conservatory in The Hague, he is currently working with algorithmic composition, generative environments and live electronics. His collaborative works can be found in his long-lasting electronic music duo Einóma and MGBG, a duo of voice and electronics with Marie Guilleray.

A long awaited full length Flaming Pines debut for the Australian musician Broken Chip. Maybe Sometimes She Haunts is inspired by long afternoons and transitions, and created amid the amazing landscapes of the Blue Mountains. Broken Chip has released some wonderful singles on the label over the years with contributions to Burning Palms, Rivers Home, the Australian Tiny Portraits edition and the Birds of Feather series. All sublime works. Below are some liner notes from him. 
----------- 
This album came about over several weeks of looping a Moog sub37 and playing it through a Space Echo. The recordings were made each afternoon (just on sunset) during mid spring. All the pieces were recorded to my dad's old cassette deck which he purchased in the mid 1980’s and is now in my possession. 

These pieces all contain the feeling of drifting between day and night, and crossing over into that moment between awake and falling asleep.

Many thanks to all the kind people who have supported my music over the years. 

Big thanks to Kate Carr for her support. 

And a massive thanks to Anna xx
