This is most interesting. I have some experience with Verhulst dynamics, and
though I've seen the bifurcation plot many times, I've never heard it. I'm
sure a blind person could visualize it if they heard this. It would be
interesting to hear further along in one of the "windows" where the number
of attractors turns suddenly from nearly infinite to, say, three. I think it
would probably become more and more confused and dissonant until you almost
couldn't stand it any more and then everything would suddenly be much
simpler, if not exactly consonant (though I wonder...).

How many iterations did you use? Or did you use some method that doesn't
involve iterations? And what are those little pops in the middle, that sound
like changing notes? And those extra staccato notes at the end?

Stay Tuned,
