This term we will focus on Pauline Oliveros.

For February we’d like to extend an invitation to the Music Futures network to attend the launch of the 50th anniversary edition of Sonic Meditations at Cafe Oto. Science and Sound regular Dr Ed McKeon contributed to the book and is also involved in the event, so we thought it could be another great opportunity to get together in person and delve deeper into Oliveros. The event is across a Sunday afternoon and evening in two parts – please do join us for either or both!

Please feel free to contact catherine.lucas.19@ucl.ac.uk if you have any questions or if you are having trouble getting hold of the text.

Looking forward to seeing you there!

Best wishes, 
Cathy, Chiara, Maria & Elena
