COLE PULICE (https://colepulice.bandcamp.com/album/lands-end-eternal)
California based electroacoustic saxophonist, improviser & composer Cole Pulice makes their first appearance in Toronto after dropping 2025’s ethereal album “Land’s End Eternal" on Leaving Records. Ambient jazz moods hum with airy saxophone breathes and delicate guitar notes. Synthesized swells ripple like rays of sun dancing through the clouds. Pulice’s light touch can be heard throughout their music, letting the released notes float their own way through this enveloping atmosphere. Fourth Worldian landscapes that recalled the influence of Pauline Oliveros, David Behrman and Terry Riley among others. Transformative, meditative worlds pull you deep into the zone.
SPEARING (https://karenng.bandcamp.com / https://charlesspearinandjosefinrunsteen.bandcamp.com/album/thank-god-the-plague-is-over)
Toronto saxophonist & improviser Karen Ng hot off the release of her newest record “Blue Backward” on Halocline Trance last fall, teams up with another Toronto stalwart, Charles Spearin (Do Make Say Think, Broken Social Scene, etc.) for a new duo project. Inquisitive horn phrases flourish with creaking tones and sputtering whispers. Saxophone notes tie themselves in intricate knots, as Spearin’s nyckelharpa fills the air with wavering elongated drones. These long time pals and frequent collaborators refine the textural sonic dance in a stripped down duo setting.
GRACE SCHEELE (https://gracescheele.bandcamp.com/album/landings)
Grace Scheele is an unconventional artist noted for her innovative take on experimental and ambient forms. She masterfully interweaves harp rumblings, cinematic drones, textural loops, and candid tape confessions into music that celebrates that liminal ‘in-between’; a place of question, blank existence, or wonder. An interdisciplinary artist, electroacoustic harpist, and composer, she works across a wide range of disciplines.
