News from her partner, Carole Ione, was posted today on her personal feed that Pauline passed away in her sleep last night. I am so deeply saddened, but so honored to have met and hosted her, along with Ione, this past summer, for a Deep Listening workshop in Seattle. She is truly one of the main forces behind the existence of this index as a major influence on women in experimental music around the world, including myself. I hope we can all continue to honor Pauline and her work, constantly striving to teach us to listen to ourselves and to honor our place within the world at large.
