This album is a sound herbarium that celebrates Nature, so evoked in Dickinson’s work, exploring the sound effects that the Arizona desert offered at the time of its recording: the sound of coyotes, the wind, the storms between red lands, mountains and canyons.

The album is made up of 9 songs, including the already-known presentation singles “Como as montanha Gotejam de Sôl-Por” and the most recent “Pudesse eu infinita cavalgar”.

Há um Herbário no Deserto will be on national and international roads from now on. The artist takes the project to Poland as part of the selection for the Culture Moves Europe program. On February 28th, in Lisbon at Buchollz, there will be a vinyl listening session of the album, with a conversation moderated by Isabel Lucas.
