Herbario is very much a pandemic album, guided by the quietude of gardens. The title refers to the collecting of dried plants and flowers in scrapbooks, with the collector’s notes and observations. During the pandemic, we all became observers of tiny things, whether we wanted to or not: incremental changes in plants and gardens, temperatures and migrations. Each track is named after one of Durand’s favorite flowers or trees. But what else did he do during the pandemic, apart from wandering the fields and mountains near his home? The artist also collected snippets of sound, pressed them, preserved them, and pasted them in this sonic scrapbook. A Closer Listen
