A
friend of mine. We worked together at the
University of Wisconsin for a semester on her
one-act dance opera "
Io and Her and the Trouble with Him".
Pauline is everyone's dream hip artistic grandma. Apart from having a deep sense of what sound can do to people, she is just a great person to be around. She exudes this good peaceful creative vibe (not words I use lightly). She's at a fascinating point in her career now: she's been doing cutting-edge electronic and improvisational music for 40 years now, and she's at the point where she has a sufficient palette of previous recordings that many of her new works are reimaginings of her previous work; taking the same tones and rearranging them to form completely new music bearing little relation to the old. As it turns out, this still requires the best technology (and people) available; I'm pretty fast with Pro Tools, but Pauline's mind was constantly a sound or two ahead of both my computer and my head.
Pauline rocks.
