bye bye butterfly

heartbroken by the loss of pauline oliveros, who i just met, performed for, and had the most beautiful conversation with on monday. (you can see her in the left corner of a picture posted on my timeline from that event). she read letters by john cage and spoke about the origins of tape music on the west coast. we left it that i’d be in touch and would definitely visit her upstate the next time i drove north. i was giddy about the meeting even today, seeing a vinyl of hers up here in vermont. truly a historical person. i feel lucky to have crossed paths with her, even once.
