Van Meter in Vineland objective correlative?

If the game played was "6 degrees of", Jim Horton is probably off 
by only one notch. I was involved with KPFA from 1987-1998, 
back when Charles Ahmarkahninian:
http://www.otherminds.org/shtml/Amirkhanian.shtml
was in charge of Kpfa's music department and I was getting into recording. 
There was a fair level of activity involving avante-garde music. Shira Cion 
[my ex from a previous marriage] studied under Pauline Oliveros 
[ http://www.deeplistening.org/pauline/ ] at Mills and Alvin Lucier 
[ http://alucier.web.wesleyan.edu/ ] at Wesleyan. Shira's involvement with 
the "Women's Philharmonic" [ http://tinyurl.com/254keg ] meant hearing
 a lot of brand spanking new music, as did other recording gigs like the 
Berkeley Symphony Orchestra and plenty of smaller-scale gigs. Had
quite a few conversations with Daniel Revenaugh [ http://tinyurl.com/3co2kw ],
who was involved with Harry Partch. Like you say, "sounds like" someone
I ought to know, and assuming he was out and about at the time, there's a 
good chance I ran into him. Looking at this list for the "Frog Peak Music 
Collective" http://www.frogpeak.org/fpartistsfront.html , I see the names 
of other musicians I've encountered/recorded.

And then, there's Michael Masley,

who you ought to know anyway. The "Artist General" seems to have
oozed out of Vineland, and pops up in Diane Paxon's fantasy books
from time to time.
