Best wishes to Pauline Oliveros, who turned eighty today!

Important Records has just released a generous sized acknowledgment of Oliveros’ wide ranging influence and imaginative experimental creations: a 12 CD boxed set that is the completest compilation to date of her early electroacoustic music. I’ve only just begun to dig in to a digital version of the set – but can already attest that it is heady and mind-opening stuff!
