Seeing is Forgetting combines analog synths (Elori Saxl) with baritone saxophone + bass clarinet (Henry Solomon). Drawing equal parts from American jazz abstraction, New York classical minimalism, and contemporary pop’s sense of harmony, form, and hooks, the album is an exploration in presence, physicality, intuition, and vulnerability.

Elori Saxl is an American experimental electronic composer. Her music has received critical acclaim for its elegant and innovative combination of digitally-processed field recordings with analog synthesizers and orchestral instruments from The Washington Post, The Guardian, Pitchfork, The New Yorker, The Quietus, WNYC New Sounds, BBC Radio, Bandcamp Daily and more.

Henry Solomon is an American artist, saxophonist, composer, and producer living in Los Angeles. In addition to writing and producing his own solo projects, he appears on recordings by Paramore, Vampire Weekend, Louis Cole, and Miley Cyrus, and was featured on HAIM’s grammy nominated album Women In Music Pt. 3. He also played baritone saxophone as Lisa Simpson in the Disney+ short “When Billie Met Lisa” featuring Billie Eilish.

Phillip Laurent’s work “Hill Songs” is a collection of instrumental meditations written and recorded during a self-fashioned composer’s retreat while house sitting for a loved one in the Berkeley hills. This work traces states of mind that might accompany the stewardship of another person’s home: at once foreign and immutably you. Presented here with frequent collaborator Benjamin Rodgers (Agnes Martian / Tessellations) on cello, “Hill Songs” channels Laurent’s loving relationship to the house where the work was conceived and its visitors.

Phillip Laurent is a Haitian-American artist living and working in San Francisco. He works in multiple disciplines including music, visual art, and dramaturgy. Laurent approaches his practice as an inquiry into ethnogenesis and a mediation between identity as asserted by oneself and that which is observed by others.
