Minimalist Composer Meets Jazz Saxophonist
18 Feb
Summary
- Elori Saxl and Henry Solomon created an improvisational album.
- The album blends minimalist synth pads with jazz saxophone.
- Recorded in Los Angeles over several nights without prior songs.
Experimental electronic composer Elori Saxl has collaborated with jazz saxophonist Henry Solomon on a new improvisational album titled 'Seeing Is Forgetting.' This collaboration marks a departure for Saxl, known for her meticulously planned compositions, as she embraces a looser, jazz-infused style.
The album was recorded over several nights in Los Angeles without pre-written songs, a revolutionary process for Saxl that shifted her perspective on musical creation. Solomon contributes on baritone saxophone and bass clarinet, while Saxl utilizes analog synthesizers.
Tracks like 'Reverence' showcase Saxl's synth pads providing a base for Solomon's mournful saxophone, creating a communion between ambient and spiritual jazz. Other pieces, such as 'Reno Silver,' feature looped sax textures complemented by Saxl's synth melodies, blurring the lines between electronic and woodwind sounds.
