Cole Pulice

Based in Oakland, the saxophonist and composer works in layers: signal-processed saxophone, electric guitar, voices folding into one another. Their music feels both expansive and hushed, resting somewhere between chamber jazz and electronic drift. On Land’s End Eternal (Leaving Records, 2024), Pulice brings these elements into slow bloom — a six-part suite of pastoral textures and glistening tonal shifts. It follows 2023’s If I Don’t See You in the Future, I’ll See You in the Pasture (Longform Editions), a 22-minute meditation named ‘Best New Music’ by Pitchfork, and featured in their Best Songs of the 2020s.

Their discography traces a careful arc across labels like Moon Glyph, Aural Canyon, and Cached Media — each release offering a variation on a personal, transportive language. Whether solo or in collaboration, Pulice’s sound is quiet in its confidence, alive with breath and resonance.

On stage, the saxophone becomes another field of tone and air, processed into ambience, harmonised into subtle chorus. Performance becomes attentive listening shared between performer and audience.

Cole Pulice shapes sound into something

intimate and reflective —

a space to dwell rather than decipher.
