Feed Me Weird Things presents: Chuck Johnson and Cole Pulice

Chuck Johnson is a California-based composer, producer, and musician. He approaches his work with an ear towards finding faults and instabilities that might reveal latent beauty, with a focus on pedal steel guitar, experimental electronics, alternate tuning systems, and composing for film and television. Recordings of his work have been published by VDSQ, Thrill Jockey, Temporary Residence, Kompakt, Ghostly, and Three Lobed, among others.

Cole Pulice (they/them) is a saxophonist and composer living in Oakland, California. Performing primarily as a solo saxophonist, Cole’s music blends the saxophone with electroacoustic signal processing, contemplative improvisation, and playful experimentalism to create vast and surreal sonic landscapes that mutate and expand the sonic language of the saxophone. Cole’s music and artistic practice is often attuned to exploring, uncovering, and working through alternative conceptions and sensations of time, gender, dream, and memory.

Cole’s most recent solo work, a 22-minute electroacoustic piece titled If I Don’t See You in the Future, I’ll See You In the Pasture (Longform Editions, 2023), was named “Best New Music” by Pitchfork and landed at #25 of Pitchfork’s “Best 100 Songs of 2023” year-end list.
