This piece consists of 85 audibles recorded in digital form and presented as a sound melody that is exactly 85 seconds long. It was commissioned by Ione and is dedicated to her wife, Pauline Oliveros. It was intended to be one composition among 84 others to be presented during a surprise event in celebration of Pauline’s 85th birthday. Unfortunately, she surprised us all by leaving us unexpectedly and too soon instead. RIP! Pauline
