Gloam

"Gloam" is the first solo record by Minneapolis-based saxophonist Cole Pulice. Cole plays in Iceblink, toured with Bon Iver and has worked with Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Mild High Club, amongst others. "Gloam" is an album of audio holograms for tenor saxophone and hardware, recorded live without overdubs. Clusters of orbiting tones drift through empty space, languidly shifting and morphing between colors and shapes, like fractals within a kaleidoscope or fragments of stained glass in a rock tumbler. It’s a collection of electroacoustic lullabies for holodecks, interstellar rest stops and cryo-chambers. They were influenced by light prisms, Samuel Delany’s speculative fiction, the Synchromism art movement and electroacoustic ambient environments. "Gloam" is informed by liminal cycles, spaces of limbo, and timeslip. Cole’s circadian rhythm disorder manifests in sleep-wake cycles that seem to collapse the boundary between “days”; sunsets and sunrises coalescing into one another, ad infinitum.
