You rogue! She loved it when you used the words "two to the POWER",
eh?

That's very interesting - does she have a web page, do you know?

There are several pages referring to her work. Didn't notice a
personal page.

There is nothing there but a pointer to the group she works with, LIDS.

So instead try:

http://www.usfirst.org/FIRSTPlace/Programs/Arts_in_Science/performers/
Diana_Dabby_bio.html
http://www.ece.uci.edu/colloquia/00w.html#Dabby

and some sound samples here:
http://www.medienobservationen.uni-muenchen.de/FRAKTAL/fraktal.html
(I've heard more convincing examples...)

And here's an article with a fairly good description of the technique.

http://www.sciencenews.org/sn_arc99/1_9_99/mathland.htm

There is a reference to her paper on the subject there.

Dabby, D.S. 1996. Musical variations from a chaotic mapping. Chaos 6
(June):95.

*and* a pointer to some software by Elizabeth Bradley that adapts this
technique to choreography:

http://www.cs.colorado.edu/~lizb/chaotic-dance.html

Enjoy! If Portland State University Library is open today, I'm gonna hunt
down the Dabby paper.
