Seeing Is Forgetting
Elori Saxl & Henry Solomon
Seeing Is Forgetting is the debut collaborative album by minimalist composer/producer Elori Saxl and jazz saxophonist Henry Solomon, released February 6, 2026 on True Panther. Written, produced, recorded, and performed by Saxl on keyboards and Solomon on woodwinds, the nine‑track set runs just over 38 minutes and fuses analog synths with baritone saxophone, bass clarinet, and other winds to create a quietly luminous mix of ambient, jazz, and subtle pop melody. Pieces like “Reverence,” “Raindrops,” and “Symmetries” unfold slowly over looping figures and soft, shifting harmonies, inviting the listener into a sound world that feels both meditative and gently restless.
Critics have emphasized how improvisation and structure coexist throughout the album: Saxl’s minimalist frameworks and repeating motifs give the music a clear spine, while Solomon’s lines wander around and through them, generating what one reviewer called “ephemeral chemistry” between the two players. Tracks such as “Reno Silver,” “A Thousand Steps,” and the closing title piece “Seeing Is Forgetting” embody this balance especially well, drifting from tissue‑soft atmospheres into more pronounced, almost song‑like melodies without ever breaking the record’s hushed, nocturnal mood. The project has been described as a “celestial exploration” where ambient textures, jazz sensibility, and wispy pop hooks meet, making Seeing Is Forgetting feel like both a contemplative headphone album and a quietly expressive showcase of the duo’s near‑telepathic interplay.
