NL premiere
Cole Pulice is a composer, improviser, and saxophonist from Minneapolis, Minnesota who is currently based in Oakland, California. Debuting on Moon Glyph Records with their album Gloam in 2020, Pulice’s music draws equally from the earthy vibrations of a cosmic jazz record and the bright digital synthesis of a video game soundtrack. Taking the saxophone as their instrument of choice, but working also with live signal processing and other instruments, Pulice composes, produces, and performs beautiful electroacoustic ambient music that sounds otherworldly and meditative. With releases on Orange Milk, Cached Media, and Aural Canyon, Pulice has been building a vast output of different sounds over the years; although diverse, a throughline in their work is the windy, brassy howls of their saxophone, sometimes sounding as a saxophone does, and other times manipulated and stretched into new unheard assemblages of surreal electroacoustic timbres.. Their latest release, If I Don’t See You in the Future, I’ll See You in the Pasture (2023), glimmers with lush pads punctuated with cascading saxophone wails. Previously, on their album Scry (2022), the influence of game music can be heard on its playful, hypnotic melodies. At Rewire 2024, Pulice performs their unique style of improvised ambient and experimental jazz music for the first time in the Netherlands.
